...very successful,” she said, referencing the Haddock-led restructuring that resulted in the purgation of the erstwhile Campus Life Committee (CLC). Reflecting on his tenure as president, Haddock cited the increased diversity of UC representatives and the competitive nature of recent elections as points of pride. Still, he appeared ready to let go. “Hopefully I’ll just be able to sit in the back and let Petersen do his thing,” he said. —Staff writer Christian B. Flow can be reached at cflow@fas.harvard.edu...
...such lengths to breed pandas if the threat of extinction has eased? Harkness says national pride in the program's success and bureaucratic self-preservation are factors. There also may be an economic motive. Zoos are eager to donate money to China in exchange for the right to display pandas. In the U.S., four zoos, including the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., are each paying $10 million over a decade for their Wolong-bred bears.

...facts, trumpeted with evident pride by the French statistics office last month, are impressive. French women had an estimated 830,900 babies last year, more than in any year since 1981.

...They're not the jobs players dream of - Mannelly tried to make the NFL as an offensive lineman, and Detmer would rather be tossing touchdown strikes than holding kicks. But long snappers and holders care deeply about their work. "I take pride in holding, absolutely," says Maynard. "I've held for some pretty good kickers, and I want people to remember it was something I was good at." He has only dropped two over a decade, so Maynard is certainly solid. But unfortunately, to be remembered, he'll have to muff one in the Super Bowl...
