Murphy sports a 73-46 record since his arrival with three outright conference championships, including two undefeated seasons in 2001 and 2004. Two of the best players in Ivy League football history—wide receiver Carl E. Morris ’03 and running back Clifton G. Dawson ’07—are both African-Americans recruited during Murphy’s tenure. Now, Harvard is not only on pace with the rest of the Ivy League in terms of diversity, but a perennial contender that happens to observe the most rigorous academic standards in the country...

I was told to include critical comments about those whose recommendations ran counter to the political will of the Administration...
...standing" of Catholic politicians who support abortion rights - a delicate issue that has come up in the U.S., Europe and, most recently, Mexico. During an unprecedented 25-minute on-flight press conference, Benedict left little room for interpretation: pro-choice politicians not only should be denied communion, but face outright excommunication from the Church for supporting "the killing of a human child." The Pope's declaration came in response to recent comments from the spokesman of the Mexican bishops conference, who said politicians who pushed through a new Mexico City pro-choice law were to be excommunicated...
