...swinging our bats, and we hit the ball pretty hard,” Shaw said. “We’ve been putting a lot of work towards [our offense] so we all knew that was going to come eventually…I think [last week] was a low point, and we’re on the upswing now.”Harvard added to its lead in the following frame. With junior Stephanie Krysiak, who is also a Crimson sports editor, aboard, sophomore Ellen Macadam hit a dinger to left to give the Crimson a 5-0 advantage...
This isn't the last takeover that Harvard has seen, though. In 2001, several dozen students took over Massachusetts Hall to protest low wages for janitors and dining hall and maintenance workers. Faced with a tense budget situation again this time around, the Student Labor Action Movement appears to be gearing up—handing President Faust a letter at a recent lunch meeting in Eliot. But there's a long way to go between envelopes and building takeovers...

Less than 8% of French workers belong to a union - a figured dwarfed by averages elsewhere in Europe and even by America's relatively low 14% level. Worse still, small French unions are bitterly divided among themselves and tend to be dislocated from sector to sector. The result, Groux says, is French management often ignores them while preparing for layoffs and remains high-handed once negotiating begins. All that, he says, increases the allure and utility of insurrectional action - and pushes the limits of dramatic protest over time...
