...long and honorable Harvard tradition. But what endears "Fair Harvard" to me most is that when we sing it, we do so in the company and thoughts of people who have truly made our Harvard experiences special.

I honestly feel that I can be counted as one of Harvard's sons, because the meaning of that word is broader today than it was in 1811. I take "thy sons" to mean all of Harvard's children...

High costs for NFL games for ABC and start-ups such as Animal Kingdom and the Disney Cruise Lines have all pinched the bottom line...
...used her big blue eyes to their fullest advantage, melting the hearts of men and women through an expression of complete vulnerability. Diana's eyes, like those of Marilyn Monroe, contained an appeal directed not to any individual but to the world at large. Please don't hurt me, they seemed to say. She often looked as if she were on the verge of tears, in the manner of folk images of the Virgin Mary. Yet she was one of the richest, most glamorous and socially powerful women in the world. This combination of vulnerability and power was perhaps...
