...team that's capable of winning. As near as I can tell, you just need talented kids. We certainly have them. Eleven-year-old Anthony, the league MVP for the last two seasons, can now out-play Coach Joe in intra-squad scrimmages. And, as every Harvard pre-med knows, being aggressive certainly helps.

Henry, '95, admits that the show re-affirms his lifelong desire to become a doctor. "There are some things in E.R. that definitely make me excited to get on within the medical career. You see the major decisions [doctors] have to make, but it also opens your eyes to the other side, the huge responsibility that they have." Tattenbaum, a very humanities, social-science-oriented student says that the show does make her think about becoming...
