...couldn’t have said it better myself.All season I’ve waited to see the breakout game. With most of the team returning from last year, it seemed only natural that Harvard would return from the summer to be the dominant team we all saw perform last November at the Yale Bowl.But in the end, Murphy is right: this isn’t a dominant team. Yes, the Crimson is 8-1 and steps it up where and when it needs to, like on special teams this weekend, something that has plagued it all season. Although that...
...tight games, how a team’s defense and special teams perform often decides the winner. That was precisely the one-two punch that carried the No. 18 Harvard men’s hockey team (4-2-0, 4-2-0 ECAC) to victory in its 1-0 win over No. 19 St. Lawrence Saturday night at Bright Hockey Center.

Children who play a musical instrument perform better on tests of motor, auditory, vocabulary, and non-verbal reasoning skills, according to a study by Harvard researchers released last month. The study, which was led by co-principal investigators Gottfried Schlaug, an associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, and Ellen Winner, a professor of psychology at Boston College and a senior research associate at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, tested a group of 59 musicians and non-musicians ranging from eight to eleven years old.

In the background, a 60-piece orchestra and A-list acts like Robin Thicke will perform. Add to that a new 40,000-square-foot spa (where you can warm the marble of your Turkish hamam bed), an adjoining hotel-condo tower, upscale restaurants, clubs and boutiques as well as spectacular lobby chandeliers created by Ai Weiwei, who designed the Bird's Nest stadium...
...downright depressing and shockingly awful effort. While it didn’t take 33 years for the music industry and its critics to realize their mistake, it took the curmudgeonly Reed that long to play “Berlin” again as it was meant to be performed: onstage and in its entirety. “Berlin” smacks of rock operatic, but in a very different way from anything The Who ever dreamed up. Set in the still-divided city for which it is named, “Berlin” tells the story of the drugged...
