...loyalty, stay up late listening to Giants games re-created on the radio by Les Keiter, who would simulate hits by making a thwok sound with, I think, his mouth? I persisted, and more: I went to Yankee Stadium and rooted against the home team. Indeed, the fanly highlight of my tween years was attending a doubleheader in which the mythically awful Washington Senators flushed the Yanks day and night...
...Jesuit-made horse head - one of a set of 12 Chinese zodiac symbols that adorned a palace water clock - was to have been a highlight of Sotheby's fall auctions in Hong Kong next week. But bitter memories were aroused from the moment its inclusion in the bidding became public. In 2000, ox, monkey and tiger heads from the same water clock surfaced in Hong Kong auctions, sales that were denounced by China's State Bureau of Cultural Relics. "It's ridiculous that they brought them back to a part of China to be sold," says Tsang Kin-shing...
Members of Harvard’s Jewish and Muslim communities broke fasts together Saturday night to celebrate two of the holiest holidays in each religion and to highlight the commonalities between the two faiths.

Ali ’10, the treasurer of the Harvard Islamic Society, said that organizers hoped the event would provide an opportunity to meet and befriend people...
...before we wax indignant over this bookstore bully, we wish to highlight the real problem: lazy faculty.

With relatively little effort, the faculty would be doing a major service for its students, especially financially strapped students who work hard to conserve their cash. It also would force the Coop, which currently has a virtual stranglehold over the Harvard textbook market, to lower its prices to compete with other bookstores soaking...
...candidates on many important issues, including the handling of over 50 million lost pension records, rural economic stagnation and tax reforms. Abe's failure to address these problems cost his party control of Japan's upper house, and yet, like their fallen predecessor, both Fukuda and Aso preferred to highlight their foreign policy differences - Fukuda called for open talks with Japan's neighbors, while the hawkish Aso took a conservative stance on the Yasukuni war shrine, a sore point in Asian relations. Both favored postponing a general election until next spring; both have also inherited Abe's insistence on continuing...
