...Diana M. Nelson ’84, a member of a group of major alumni donors, said she expected them to stay focused on high-profile issues like Allston and undergraduate education. But, Nelson said, the two might come up with different "specific funding priorities" detailing how money should be spent within these areas. She emphasized she did not expect funding decisions to be made through a "top-down, centralized process" but rather one involving deans and faculties across the University.

That could change this fall. Democratic Florida Senator Bill Nelson introduced a bill that would require toys to be third-party tested to make sure they meet safety standards-- or be banned from import to the U.S. (Hearings are scheduled for Sept. 12.)

As the players turned it on for the 5,000 spectators, TIME's reporter asked squad official Matt McIlraith for a brief interview with the coach, John Mitchell, who was overseeing practice the way a chess master examines the board. While he didn't quite scoff, McIlraith made it clear there was precisely zero chance of the request being granted. Mitchell wasn't feeding the chooks anymore...
