...many of the new young conservatives smash these ideological bins. They define their conservatism on an issue-by-issue basis. While they care deeply about abortion, for instance, few students at the conference mentioned gay marriage. Roger Custer, the 22-year-old conference coordinator who graduated in May from Ithaca College in New York, illustrates this cafeteria-menu conservatism: he favors the Iraq war but thinks Bush should have treated our allies better; he wants abortion outlawed but backs civil unions for gays; he would abolish the Department of Education but would rather balance the budget than cut taxes.

...recalls. “‘When you fence against Princeton, you’re going to crush them anyway.’”Two weeks later, the Tigers had their 19-8 reckoning. Columbia, for its part, had lost to Harvard in Ithaca, N.Y., the previous weekend. “Without being cocky,” Kolombatovich says, “they were coming here to pick up the trophies.” Harvard’s medal haul continued through New York and didn’t come to a complete stop until March...
...miles traveled covering Harvard sports, but that seems like a lot of work. Number of states visited in the name of The Crimson?

The Crimson appeared to have sloughed off the effects of the bad trip to Ithaca the next weekend, as Harvard led nemesis Princeton by six with a minute to play in front of a sell-out Lavietes crowd. As they always seem to do against Harvard, the Tigers came back in remarkable fashion, with Noah Savage nailing a baseline jumper with under a second left to give...
...During early childhood, parents take us to football practice, ballet lessons, or early-reading classes to prepare for school. Then, many struggle with waiting lists to get their kids into elite prep schools a la Eton. Soon the time will come for standardization in the quest for the elusive Ithaca: elite colleges. To the application recipe, add a pinch of both “productive” extracurriculars and “useful” summers. Always remember the secret ingredient: “It should look good on paper...
