...student who is being recruited by colleges outside the Ivies that will pay athletes to come. Coaches’ successes depend on their ability to attract these sorts of players. Appealing to talented players for whom, sports aside, Harvard would not otherwise be an option is one attractive path. There’s another, less talked-about problem too. Athletes who feel a weaker connection to Harvard outside of sports are more likely to stay dedicated to their sport. Therefore, relying exclusively on recruiting the academically qualified is potentially problematic, since many of these students abandon their sport in college...

We weren't given any lectures on Western immorality or the superior path of Islam. Instead, Adam Ibrahim Lagame talked about drought, poverty and starvation. It hadn't rained for a year. No aid had reached Hosingo since UNICEF built a school in 1996. "People are about to start dying here," said Adam. "The children have cholera and diarrhea. We have no food. Even if anyone was willing to come to help us, we have...
