...serpents and innocent as doves." Jesus is telling his disciples to go and talk about him and, by the way, to expect some push back. "I find that particular section moving," says Affleck. "You're in a world out there that's hostile. Bad things are going to happen to you. You're going to be scorned. How do you reconcile these two sides of yourself? What are you going to do to maintain your innocence? I guess I think it's a hard thing to figure out how to do, being serpents and doves, but I think...
...narrow margin. Merritt also had an attempt that hit the crossbar and rolled behind the net a few minutes before the game ended. “I am trying to turn and go at the goal and shoot more,” Merritt said. “Good things happen when you shoot.” Harvard’s sophomore goalkeeper, Lauren Mann, recorded her eighth shutout of the season overall, but lack of a strong Vermont offense and another impressive performance by Crimson defenders junior Nicole Rhodes and sophomore Kelli Okuji acted as assets to the victory...

...Student leaders take any attempt to moderate drinking as an insult to be countered by even harder drinking.” Indeed, some UC representatives have argued that “drinking will happen” regardless of the College’s intervention, so it might as well happen in Harvard dorms rather than off campus. This premise, however, is a flimsy one. Rules are established to guide behavior—not vice-versa. It is disheartening that Harvard students are so intent on bickering over bucks for booze. At the end of this debacle, it?...
