Last year, at an open hearing in front of the University's Advisory Committee on Shareholder Responsibility, a Harvard student spoke about AMAX's Namibian operations and asked that Harvard, following international law, sponsor an AMAX shareholder resolution requiring the company to withdraw from Namibia. In the great tradition of Harvard's free market of ideas, the committee politely thanked him for the suggestion, but seems never to have given it a moment's consideration...
...West demonstrated a commitment to independence -- a commitment that has never been fulfilled.

...second half turned into wide open soccer which seemed to favor Columbia, and Blood was called upon to make two big saves, one with two minutes remaining. That and a diving save with 20 seconds in the first half proved that Blood is capable of making the big play. He must now develop poise in crowded situations in front of the net. Because for the second straight game, loose balls proved to be the Crimson's undoing...
