...like the program was moving forward.” To top things off, Walsh becomes the second straight one-and-done coach Harvard has recruited to lead its women’s program. Just last year, former head coach Stephanie Erickson departed in similar fashion, leaving to take the helm at her alma mater, Northwestern, where she is the all-time leading scorer at the school. She tabulated an 8-5-3 record in her one season at the Crimson helm, just barely missing an NCAA tournament birth. The situation is unfortunate for team members who must constantly readjust upon...
Dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Drew Gilpin Faust will be the 28th person, and the first female, to take the helm of Harvard in its 371 year history. Like her 27 predecessors, she will attempt to steer the school and its students toward that ever-elusive (and often nebulous) destination: “VERITAS.” Yet the methods, goals, and beliefs of Harvard’s past presidents have not always reflected the selfsame notion of truth...

...party was close to bankruptcy. Most of its income came from labor unions, but union membership had dwindled, and party membership, another source of funds, had more than halved from a high in the 1950s of 1 million. (It is now less than 200,000.) Blair took over the helm of the party in 1994 and with the help of Levy, a self-made multimillionaire who started his fortune managing middle-of-the-road rock bands, began romancing the business community. The strategy paid off handsomely; business rushed to back Blair as his star rose, and his party triumphed...
