...fact, both the disease and calcium's role in bone development are still poorly understood. During normal youthful maturation the body readily absorbs calcium, which helps to build bigger and denser bones. After about age 35, however, the process begins to reverse.

In Game 1 against Dartmouth, Haviland was his normal, sparkling self, twirling ten innings of six-hit ball in a 2-1 extra-inning win, a performance that may well have secured Ivy Pitcher of the Year honors for the sophomore. He boasted a microscopic 0.73 ERA in five regular-season Ivy decisions. But losses in games...
...already sensitive condition. The siren songs of Commencement speeches alone were enough to confer on even the most immune graduate a particularly virulent strain of the Syndrome. After all, we had just been told in English and in Latin that we were incredibly wonderful and talented. It was only normal to expect the world to roll out the Red Carpet for us. Hear ye, hear ye: hundreds of smart, talented, ambitious people are graduating from Harvard. World, make...
