...boost the Crimson’s confidence. The atmosphere surrounding the game is tremendous and intense, and tickets sold out early this week. Harvard’s big game against Cornell is definitely the anticipated contest of the weekend, but the Crimson must make sure they do not overlook tonight’s game against Colgate. Even though Cornell may be the game the fans are preparing for, the Crimson has prepared sufficiently to tackle Colgate, the first obstacle this weekend. “Our immediate focus is on Friday’s night game to make a step...

Simply put, the potential for economic benefits, a more stable Middle East, and—perhaps most importantly—saving American soldiers’ lives are simply too great for the US to overlook, even in the face of such a gross offense to international diplomacy. President Obama has already pledged to take America in a new direction; establishing relations with Iran would be the best way to do so, at least in the Middle East...
