...Heidi K. Hopper '91 disagreed with Taylor and said that although she didn't like the idea of printing negative mottoes on T-shirts and sweatshirts, she didn't mind mild positive statements like "Harvard's better than Yale" or "Beat Yale...
...recognized as the World Heavyweight Boxing champion by all three of the sport's ruling bodies: the World Boxing Association, the World Boxing Council and the International Boxing Federation. So to mark the occasion, Promoter King decided to mount a "throneization" at the Las Vegas Hilton.
