Harvard’s Facilities Maintenance Organization (FMO) was prepared for the dangers the weather would bring—stockpiling salt, sand, and ice-melt, as well as activating all on-hand personnel and hiring emergency contract workers from outside its ranks. According to Yard Operations Associate Director of Residential Operations Zachary M. Gingo ’98, 65 people worked for a total of 30 hours to make the walkways navigable after the remnants...
...teams to beat in the Ivy League. And with Princeton, the league’s other 4-1 team, coming to Lavietes Pavilion next weekend, the Crimson will soon have another chance to prove that its preseason expectation of an Ivy title didn’t melt away in December. “We’re finishing the first round of games and we’re tied for first place, so it’s a great position to be in,” Harvard coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said. “I’m very...

The flora he described was sunflowers, and Van Gogh is the one artist who did those blossoms justice. In Sunflowers for Van Gogh (Rizzoli; 149 pages; $25), Photographer David Douglas Duncan captures the luminous, strangely feminine character of his subjects. This glowing tribute to painter and plant offers what seem to be studies of leafy blonds singing in the daylight, mourning in the shadows and brightening the earth when there...
