...school committed to environmental leadership, this is a big problem. Harvard’s commitment to institutional sustainability is second to none, and I’ve been privileged to take part in the university’s efforts to “green” our campus. But it’s long past time for time for Harvard to ensure that “Green is the New Crimson” rings true not only in its labs and dining halls, but also in Sever and Emerson. We need more relevant courses, better-defined environmental tracks within...
Perseverance has defined much of the season for Harvard field hockey, and perhaps none have exemplified it more than freshman goalie Cynthia Tassopoulos. The rookie has stepped in to start all of the Crimson’s games this year, and with five contests remaining has already pushed Harvard (5-7, 2-2 Ivy League) to within one victory of its 2008 total.

...version, shot through with subplots involving abuse and incest - out of their fairy costumes and deposits them in the vermin-infested trenches and blood-soaked hospitals of World War I. In conveying the vicious indifference with which their lives are shattered, Byatt's penetrating, unsentimental style hits its mark. None of Olive's fairy tales could have foretold one son's ending: "He was dead by the time he was found by the stretcher-bearers, so they took his identity-tag, and looked in his bloody pockets for letters or photos - there was a publicity photograph of Olive, looking wise...
...first two winners of the award, Joaquim Chissano of Mozambique and Festus Mogae of Botswana, were widely lauded for the way they ran their countries. By not awarding the prize this year, the committee clearly feels that none of the eligible candidates quite made the mark on governance that those two men did. It's no surprise that Africa suffers from bad leadership. What is a surprise, and what should be applauded, is a group of respected leaders - African and non-African alike - standing up and stating that quite so boldly. The non-award this year will make future prizes...
