...sure. But something in two different sequences during game one reminded me of baseball’s ineffable appeal.* * *The first play was no joking matter. A kid got hurt. Columbia starting second baseman Kyle Roberts injured his knee when, on a ground ball to shortstop with runners on first and second and nobody out in the second inning, Matt Kramer slid hard into the base to break up the possible double play. It worked, too: the fielder made no throw and Harvard went on to plate four in the frame, building an insurmountable 7-0 advantage. Kramer...
...impressive for their sheer brilliance, become increasingly personal: less part of a process and more meditations on profound themes. Studies for a Deposition, ca. 1523 shows the disposal of Christ's body as a laborious, undignified business. In The Lamentation, 1530-35, Christ's mother is seated on the ground, her son lying on her knees. A woman leans her head on Mary's shoulder-her face ugly with grief. His massive fresco, The Last Judgment, on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel, was completed in 1541. Michelangelo painted no more after 1550, working instead on sculpture and architecture...
...visited the set--Howard Hughes' old airplane hangar near Marina del Rey, Calif.--McLoughlin, who had 30 surgeries that left braces on his legs and an open wound on his left hip, stayed away from the 65-ft. mound of Styrofoam beams and cargo boxes meant to represent ground zero.

Broken down by family income, about 25 percent of Harvard families make less than $80,000 a year. Next year, HFAI will address significantly more of these families’ financial needs, including the elimination of parental contribution for families earning under $60,000 a year. As impressive as this sounds, these initial 25 percent of families are the metaphorical warm-up jaunt through scrub brush and pine needles in anticipation of the difficult, rocky climb ahead...
...policy is the defining issue of their lives.Enter the students. In the past week, 50,000 protesters marched in Denver and Detroit. 1,000 marched here in Boston. According to press reports, many marchers were immigrants themselves; the children of illegal families have been both the leaders and the ground troops for event after event. This movement did not start with some wealthy do-gooder and it is not fueled by any liberal elite. The response to this new attack came from the individuals being attacked.These people are demanding the most basic of human needs: recognition. In the current debate...
