Perhaps Harvard should embrace global warming. Weather could become one of Cambridge’s major selling points. While Duke languishes amidst newly intensified tropical storms, Harvard will enjoy 70-degree weather in January. Who would ever want to go anywhere else? Polar ice caps may melt, but it was, after all, a Harvard graduate who reminded us that “a rising tide lifts all boats...
...buried the Bobcats’ hopes for an upset. The Crimson (14-3-1, 11-2-0 ECAC) eventually finished an unblemished weekend by defeating Quinnipiac (6-15-0, 3-10-0) by a 5-0 final. Chu’s goal came on a precision pass up the ice from senior forward Liza Solley. After getting the puck, she simply faked left, got the Bobcats’ goalie Janelle Wolitski to go low, and then flicked it up backhand into the back of the net. “I was able to sneak behind the defense and Liza made...
Kessler’s most recent outing, in the Crimson’s stinging 4-1 defeat at the hands of archrival Dartmouth just prior to the winter recess, 20 days before the Princeton clash, was also on her mind as she took the ice on Friday.

Acknowledging that the relationships between ranchers and animals aren't purely economic, Bonner spoke softly of emotional connections: "No matter how many animals you have," she said, "you know them...
Last month the U.S. proposed designating the polar bear as threatened, after starvation and drownings caused by melting sea ice helped cut the animal's global population to fewer than 25,000. By contrast, this year could spell the bald eagle's release from an almost 40-year stay on the list. Elimination of the pesticide DDT and crackdowns on hunting and development have allowed the national bird to rebound from 417 nesting pairs in the lower 48 states in the early 1960s to more than 7,000 today, not to mention a population of 40,000 in Alaska...
