...comic book from another planet, it includes (minimal) dialogue in some untranslatable language. Anyone familiar with the bizarre works of Jim Woodring, who specializes in creating mute, inexplicable worlds of beauty and danger, will immediately see kinship between the two authors. The book looks, at arm's length, like something for kids, with cute characters akin to Pokemon, interacting in a colorful environment. But a closer read reveals a cruel world of domination and subjugation that often involves weird forms of violence. "Why is the purple guy having his skin torn off by the orange one," may be a typically...
...another in the past year, the Detur Prize, the Winthop House Library, “10,000 men of Harvard,” and The Crimson itself have been mentioned. Ozzie Guillen’s assertion last October that he was smarter than many Harvard students was dissected at length on the site, complete with a reference to a tiger in the Leverett Junior Common Room.

Harvard sat in a distant third at the midway point, as reigning national champion Yale...

Northeastern trailed by almost five boat lengths in a time of 5:59.06. “It’s hard to tell with margins just because the water...
...reason for this defeat.“That race was probably one of our worst races of the season,” heavyweight senior Laura Martin said. “We had problems from the beginning.”Despite these problems, the team sprinted ahead by a boat length over the first 1000 meters. But Radcliffe never got in rhythm, never raced in unison, and as a result, the team fell back over the third 500 meters. The Black and White, despite a strong final sprint, could not catch BU, as the varsity eight was edged by 1.6 seconds...
