...Harvard looks to continue its strong play after defeating Lafayette 27-13 this past weekend. The Crimson attack was working on all cylinders, generating 491 total yards against a Leopards defense that had led the nation in scoring defense coming into the game. Senior quarterback Chris Pizzotti threw for 231 yards and a touchdown, and junior tailback Cheng Ho steadied the ground game with 108 yards and a touchdown, including a 51 yard fourth quarter run that helped seal...

That French-language citizens of former colonies might hesitate to pledge allegiance to France would surely disturb many proud readers (like Sarkozy). Yet the nature of the Francophone world—and our entire world today?...
...career as an independent rapper and filmmaker. As a result, his biggest fear doesn’t seem to be the destruction of the genre, but the destruction of his cred with a major label release. For the most part he succeeds in his mission of shaking up the nation. He schools rappers and listeners alike about their heritage in “The Science,” which serves as a sort of Cliffs Notes take on the origin of hip-hop and ranges from slavery to crack.Similarly, “Can It Be (Half a Million Dollars...
