...students started FCA three years ago, officially as a branch of the Harvard Radcliffe Christian Fellowship (HRCF). FCA emphasizes open discussion more than the larger, structured HRCF, because the athletes say they need close interaction to grow as Christians. "Who wants to sit in a group of 12 people and listen to someone talk? It would be as bad as tutorial." Elaine Holpuch, who plays center on the women's basketball team, says...
...King's advisers, suspecting foul play, defect to France before Hubert confesses to John that Arthur lives. When Arthur dies trying to escape, the nobles find his body outside the city gate and grow more incensed. The French invade England under the Dauphin's command, only to be beaten back. The nobles find it expedient to return to John's fold when they learn the Dauphin plans to kill them.

Raw material is naturally at a premium. If a single word that Faulkner wrote and neglected to destroy has not been discovered, some professorial truffle hound will doubtless find and publish...
This stubborn issue sprang up after World War II, when Harvard began to grow in leaps, bounds, deeds and titles. Land, always scarce in Cambridge, was gobbled up at premium prices by the University, often simply for "banking" purposes, in case Harvard needed an astro-zoology library some day. The city stepped in to do battle, especially once Harvard started evicting tenants from apartment buildings it had brought. And while Harvard usually won (the last tenants are getting ready to leave the most recent battleground, 7 Sumner Road), it was only at a price. In 1974, sick of the city...
