...books on sports psychology and remains involved with baseball as a member of the front office of the Stamford Robins of the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League, the team that John played for during the summer of 2005. Rick’s father, John’s grandfather, is the Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Wolff, the longtime voice of the Washington Senators and the first man to do play-by-play for the championships in all four major sports...
Last year, The Crimson briefly faced some extra competition. Thanks to a pilot project sponsored by the Undergraduate Council (UC), several copies of The New York Times were delivered to each dining hall every morning, allowing students to read America’s paper of record as they grabbed a bite on the way to class. These few newspapers pierced the proverbial “Harvard bubble” and sparked plenty of breakfast table discussions of issues of national and global concern.

A male social organization actually convinced a female social organization, mid-mixer, to migrate from Mather to the Quad. Harvard must have been demonically possessed this past Halloween weekend. Or maybe the entire student body was temporarily transformed into Crimson party zombies, the dark red undead. Perhaps we just really, really like pretending we’re pirates? Whatever the reason, Halloween really brings out the best in Harvard?...
