...Johnson, roughly the same size, has revolutionized guard play with his height. But the last few regulation seconds in Game 2 were unpromising for both men. Protecting a two-point lead but not the ball, Worthy tossed the tying basket directly into Celtic Guard Gerald Henderson's grateful path, and dribbling absently Johnson lost track of the time. As would become increasingly clear, the new model is an improvement over Oscar Robertson only in the open court...
Those hoping to rub elbows with the athletes are likely to be disappointed, as Harvard, Cambridge, and Olympic security are cooperating in a massive effort to guard the players.

If Harvard is about special people, leaders of their respective communities, people who refuse to follow the beaten path, then Lionel wrote the book on all of those qualities freshman year. If Harvard is about diversity, and people learning from people who are different from them, this describes virtually every moment of life in Lionel, from talking politics to arguing over which channel to watch. And at the very...
