The 40-ft. face has appeared on license plates, postage stamps and the state quarter. New Hampshire officials are debating whether to restore the monument...
...Athletic Department would be right not to punish the rugby team for this incident involving its players. There was no property damage and there is nothing deeply harmful about a couple of guys in their birthday suits running through a town park. This occurrence has highlighted the need for certain changes, but if unnecessary disciplinary action is contemplated, the relative innocence of the streaking should be taken into consideration. For proof, just peek into the Yard tonight as hundreds of Harvard undergraduates relieve their stress running in Primal Scream. If anything, nudity has become a time-honored tradition...
