Omodele-Lucien played doubles with the freshman this weekend and got to observe his abilities first-hand. For the junior, the experience was one of déja vu, as Nguyen’s brother Dan ’08 was Omodele-Lucien’s doubles partner in his freshman year...
Brooker rubs a big blackened thumb over the clod of dirt in his hand, and a coin appears - minted, it turns out, sometime from 1625 to 1649.

There's good reason, then, for Obama to heed the leadership lessons of history's greatest leader. Like presidential predecessors from Washington to Reagan, Obama can use the Moses story to help guide Americans in troubled times. From the Pilgrims to the Founding Fathers, the Civil War to the civil rights movement, Americans have turned to Moses...
