...other crews settled in for the second half of the race, Harvard made its move and opened a length lead with 600 meters left. And rather than settle for that, Harvard began to put some open water between it and second-place Navy. Harvard crossed the finish in 6:19.5, followed by Navy (6:23.7) and Penn...
...century Midlands, Saville tells its story of individual alienation within the larger story of a society in transformation. The bleakness of the depression years, the depredations of world war, the nationalization of the mines--these provide the backdrop against which Storey's characters move. The landscape Storey describes is not only social, but literary: beside the stolidity of a Lawrentian mining village, he sets the formal rigidity of a Dickensian public school, with its masters almost comic in their severity. Through this landscape flits the mystical figure of Stafford, Colin's foil, who, like Dickens' Steerforth, sloughs off the spoils...

Every activity provides a chance to jockey for influence. Every bit of slang becomes a code-word. Every move somehow reflects on the prison hierarchy...

Dean Rosovsky and Fox dismissed out of hand the possibility of retaining hot breakfasts in all Houses, a move that would have cost each student an extra $18 to $30 in board fees each year. Administrators did not look seriously at the 14-meal plan, an option that would allow students to decide for themselves how important breakfast is to them. At the very least Fox should rotate the hot breakfasts...
