...these accomplishments, Malaysia is suffering from midlife anxiety. Increasingly, the nation's diverse ethnicities live in parallel universes, all Malaysians, yes, but seldom coming together as they once did for meals or classroom discussions. Religion, too, has divided the nation, as some Malaysians assert that a conservative strain of Islam is causing a segment of the faith's worshippers to withdraw from a multicultural society. Malaysia's economy is being challenged by regional competitors, with many questioning the future of the affirmative-action scheme that has served as the country's financial bedrock. At the same time, a nation that...
...fans entertained during stoppages of play. So as I followed the back-and-forth of the game for three periods alongside the public relations blitz, I started to wonder: what would Harvard hockey be like if we went corporate?

Saturday’s victory, a 37-6 joyride past the hapless Elis, was downright Belichickian, from the defense’s ability to neutralize its opponent’s greatest threat (running back Mike McCleod...
...Does this mark the birth of a Jewish Jay?) Also entertaining is the fact that Jay-Z has a youthful doppelganger present in various scenes. The actor has the same walk, the same talk, and a younger version of the same face. These traits all help to create a parallel of the young man and fully-formed rapper. The mini-Hova even has a belt buckle that says, “JAY.” How cute. Both are quite the partiers, it seems. And they also run their respective blocks. The abrupt ending of both the party...
