...something that happened last year against Lehigh,” Luft said of the score. “I just kind of saw the first guy missed, and the middle opened up, and I just tried not to get caught.”Before Luft turned a simple slant pattern into a long touchdown, the outcome was still very much in doubt. The Crimson opened the game with a dominant offensive drive—moving the ball 89 yards in 12 plays—that culminated in a 33-yard touchdown strike from Pizzotti to senior wide receiver Corey Mazza...
...Greek and Roman sculpture. The sculptures are exuberant and unmasked, attacking the eye with their unexpected brightness and intensity. Through the use of “raking light”—lighting a surface from the side and illuminating various sketches on the sculpture and the weathering pattern of the stone—as well as using photography under ultraviolet light, archaeologists were able to trace the remaining pigment residues on the sculptures, and so recreate the appropriate colors that adorned these pieces of art. The exhibit is separated into three time periods: Greek sculptures from the archaic...
...their first high school date. The remaining five sections are broken down further by types of disease, spanning the spectrum from allergy to cancer to brain disease.“Molecules and Medicine” allots exactly one page to each molecule in medicine that it covers, breaking the pattern for occasional explanations of the biological targets on which a given class of drugs work, and providing the all-important context that turns its potentially dry pages into a wellspring of useful information.And context is what gives “Molecules and Medicine” value, allowing...
...dropped its holdings in firms that have close ties to particularly reprehensible regimes. In response to the Darfur genocide, Harvard sold its stake in the oil company PetroChina in 2005.

Still, Harvard should take little solace in the fact that the Burmese government has killed thousands (as opposed to hundreds of thousands) of its own people. The same “pattern of circumstances” characterizing the PetroChina-Sudan relationship is also present in the Chevron-Burma tie. Just as PetroChina’s parent company was a major player in the Sudanese oil industry, so too is Chevron a leader in the Burmese natural gas sector. Just as oil revenue props...
