Bureaucratic impediments and rigid traditions make it hard for a 350-year-old institution like Harvard to stay on the cutting edge. Keeping pace with modern science and technology requires institutions not only to update their curricula, but also to maintain state-of-the-art facilities. But campus development for an institution like Harvard is a complicated process that involves years of planning—incorporating modern architecture and environmentally conscious practices with an aesthetic commitment to red brick neo-Georgian architecture.

Princeton gave the Crimson its first conference defeat, sweeping the squad, 9-0, and knocking Harvard out of the running for the title. The Crimson met Yale three days later to battle it out for the second-place spot...
...When Samo signals the presence of a mine by scratching the ground, Emmanuel, his handler, presses a clicker which makes a noise that Samo has been trained to associate with food. He scampers over and snatches his banana from Emmanuel, devouring it in a couple of quick bites. To maintain their conditioning, the rats require regular training when they're not in the field - and on training days, from Monday to Friday, they only eat what they earn. Later, when a rat named Grigory fails to adequately signal the presence of one of the dummy mines, Emmanuel withholds his reward...
