...Ibrahim Jaaber, the two best players in the league last season. But for Harvard fans who have seen their team come up short against the better teams in the league on too many occasions, the influx of such talent surely indicates Amaker has the program on the right path: towards the team’s first ever Ivy League championship.—Staff writer Ted Kirby can be reached at tjkirby@fas.harvard.edu...
...these diverse essays, most of which originally appeared in The New Yorker, Thurman explores several “varieties of desire.” She centers her analysis loosely around a simple question: why do people—particularly artists, but others as well—choose the paths they do? Though the collection is necessarily a bit incoherent, Thurman’s consistently lively narrative voice compensates for any discontinuity.

The order lost its purpose and credibility when the Muslim warrior Saladin drove the Crusaders from Jerusalem in 1187, setting the Templars on a path of retreat that saw them give up their last Mid-Eastern foothold, in what is now Syria, in 1303. From there, the decline was precipitous: The Templars failed in an effort to take control of Cyprus, and then, in 1307, Philip IV of France found it more convenient to order the arrest and torture of the Templars...
