...World Series game in 2004. After graduating cum-laude from Harvard College, Freedman briefly attended Harvard Law School before dropping out. He eventually received his law degree from Yale, and went on to clerk for then-U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Thurgood Marshall, who became a lifelong friend, according to his son. After practicing law for a year in New York, he joined the faculty of University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1964 and was named dean 15 years later, according to the press release. In 1982 he left for the University of Iowa where he served as president...

Another Republican, a prohibitively large corrections officer named Gary Morgan, tells me he's disgusted by the way Bush has prosecuted the war in Iraq and by his party's "culture of corruption." He's impressed by Carney...
...summer plans went sour. The Crimson shortstop had been recruited by a fellow Harvard man, Wareham Gatemen President and GM John Wylde ’60-’63, to play in the celebrated Cape Cod League in early June, fulfilling Brown’s lifelong dream of making a Cape roster. When the conclusion of the College World Series and the arrival of new talent threatened to consign Brown to bench duty—“We were hoping to find ways to possibly keep him,” says Wylde, who had become a Brown booster...
