...river, coaches, players, and the athletic department as a whole are working constantly to entice next year’s crop of athletes to join our Ivy community here in Cambridge. As sports writers, sometimes we at the Crimson only get glimpses of this intricate and rules-laden world. Last fall, while covering the Crimson men’s soccer team, I waited patiently and observed (but did not eavesdrop) for five minutes after a game while Harvard coach John Kerr made a final pitch and said goodbye to a recruit who had been in attendance.

Focused as he has been on Iraq, the Secretary isn't preoccupied: his influence is felt across the board, on arms control, China policy, the North Korean crisis and the still fruitless hunt for bin Laden. He has backed the creation of the Homeland Security Department and jump-started a military command to support its work.
