...After winter break and a week-long training trip, the team faced Navy in early January. While one might expect the Naval Academy to dominate a water-based sport, the opposite was true, as Harvard won, 161-82. The Crimson won nine of 13 events, including a sweep of the top three spots in the mile, the 200 butterfly and the 200 backstroke. However, the team did lose the 200 freestyle relay, as it had the year before, and Murphy was not happy...
...projections. I have been rereading Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s "A Thousand Days," which comprises more than a thousand pages about the Kennedy White House, written in the year after JFK's assassination. In his grief, Schlesinger portrayed Kennedy as saint and martyr: "He was a Harvard man, a naval hero, an Irishman, a politician, a bon vivant, a man of unusual intelligence, charm, wit and ambition, 'debonair and brilliant and brave,' but his deeper meaning was still in process of crystallization."

At no time did this flag ever represent the political or governmental side of the Confederacy, which was the job of the Stars and Bars...
...Katie: During my programs all over the country, I do speak at the Citadel and the naval academy and male-dominated institutions. Men walk away from hearing my story without feeling threatened or blamed, but rather empowered to get involved and take a stand. “Take Back the Night” at Harvard was amazing and there were so many stories when we formed the circle that it was overwhelming. Harvard students had more stories of rape than any other Take Back the Night that I have attended this year. There were stories about siblings, girlfriends...
