Hefner apparently misses the fact that human sex is different from animal sex. Over the process of evolution, we developed human traits that allow us to see life as more than the pleasant process of its reproduction. We have developed values such as fidelity, commitment, restraint from abuse, and respect--feelings inherent in promoting family life. the Rev. Connell Maguire RIVIERA BEACH...

...meter dash at BU, earning a new school record for the indoor event and a fourth-place finish on the day. Kobie Fuller ’02 held the previous record at 48.38, which he set in his senior year. “[John has] really been a pleasant surprise for us,” Saretsky said. “Fastest time in indoors for a freshman is truly remarkable.” Harvard now heads into a five-meet home stretch that will wrap up the end of the indoor season, culminating with the Heptagonal Championships.
