...arrived at the house in Maine, my roommate noticed that my cheeks looked unusually blotchy. They began to itch, and I ran to a mirror to discover that the hives had spread to my horrified face. I wanted to cry, but the rash didn’t actually hurt that much. It was the embarrassment, even shame, I felt at being so visibly and conspicuously out of control that upset me. My face glowed angrily with a rash that I couldn’t make go away, and even though I was surrounded by my closest friends...
...comeback. The Crimson finished the season in the cellar of the Red Rolfe Division.“We came into the Ivy League very confident, but we just weren’t quite ready,” captain Matt Vance said. “Those [early] losses can really hurt you in the end, and they obviously did for us.”Before the Ivy League season began, Harvard collected just one victory while playing one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the nation.

"The sport is brutal," says James "The Colossus" Thompson, a British fighter who will take on Kimbo Slice this Saturday. "You can't sugarcoat it. I will try to hurt Kimbo." Kimbo says his mind-set in the ring is to "seek, kill and destroy." Sanctioned MMA fights have resulted in one death in the U.S.; in 1998, another American died after being knocked out during an unregulated fight in the Ukraine...
