...good news is that Indian voters are starting to raise their expectations. In rural West Bengal last fall, I met a man whose biggest complaint was that his village had no electricity.

The couple met through a study held at William James Hall and went on their first date last May. Over dinner at an Indian restaurant, the pair bonded over their shared taste in music. Mancuso, who had spent the past few years playing 300 nights a year with his band, GBD Band, admired...
...this time, at the hands of Columbia. Again, Harvard was just one shot away from the victory.The defeat was incredibly costly, placing the Crimson two games back of then-undefeated Dartmouth. Another slip-up would surely end any chance that Harvard had at the league title.The group met the challenge head on, overcoming a lot of adversity along the way.
