Hafferty begins his fifth year at the helm of the water polo program with the momentum of a steadily-improving record and only two players (Joe Kaufman and goalie Greg Beber) lost to graduation, but also with the frustration of the Crimson's inability to break into the upper ranks of the nation's squads. The 1988 team finished 19-8, including a second place finish at the New England Championships, but in the Easterns, the Crimson stumbled to a seventh place finish...

History, in the view of Francis Fukuyama, was a Manichaean struggle between ! the forces of light and darkness. The bad guys -- first fascists, now Communists -- have lost, the good guys have triumphed. But if the fight is over, so is the fun. The remainder of life on earth, frets Fukuyama, may be a bit of a bore. If there are no more world-class evils to inspire "daring, courage, imagination, and idealism," we could be reduced...
