...article on the birth of stars was a breath of fresh air at a time when too many people are busy counting planets on the head of a pin. The ongoing scientific discovery of the unfolding of our early universe is far more important for people to understand than how to divide the solar system into sheep and goats.

...Gaels, the Crimson was unable to capitalize by putting one in the back of the net. The best opportunity for Harvard came in the 76th minute, when a precise ball down the line from freshman Elise Sherman found sophomore Erin Wylie in the box. Wylie’s pin-point cross hit freshman Christina Hagner in stride for a one-time rip that the St. Mary’s keeper grabbed out of the air for a spectacular save. “We’re trying to get goals in the net, so days like this are really frustrating...
