Nearly 30 years later, Kenneth E. Reeves '72 has diverged from the typical Harvard path, though. Entering his sixth term on the Cambridge City Council, Reeves is an avowed liberal and a political activist...
Dominic Moore put the Crimson up for good at 9:10 of the period. Working the puck down low, his fake caused his defender to fall down, freeing his path to the net. On the mini-breakaway, Moore deked and tucked his shot through Allen's legs...

...path to overturning the dogma of the rigid brain was circuitous. In the early 1960s biologists discovered that new cells were being made in two areas of the adult rat brain, but the discovery was regarded as an unimportant peculiarity of the rodent brain and quickly forgotten. In the mid-1980s, Fernando Nottebohm of Rockefeller University brought new respect to the term birdbrain by demonstrating that the brain of an adult canary has the astonishing ability to regenerate new nerve cells at a rate of up to 20,000 a day. Other researchers reported similar regenerative ability in fish...
...there will be drugs to trip up a cell at each of the steps it takes on the path to malignancy. A patient with lung cancer, say, might undergo gene therapy, breathing in genetically altered cold viruses that don't cause infection but instead act as miniature delivery vans carrying copies of the p53 gene. Good copies of this gene, which is mutated in many cancers, can force some cancer cells to commit suicide. The effects of p53 could be bolstered with antibodies that slow tumors by attaching to the surface of cancer cells and gumming up their ability...
