...just momentum. “It’s been a great rivalry,” said Harvard coach Katey Stone before her team’s practice yesterday afternoon. “Just a lot of energy, very high-tempo games. There’s a lot of pride on the line.” Senior captain Carrie Schroyer said that it would be difficult to treat tonight’s game like any other. “You feel it, just because of those past experiences,” Schroyer said “It?...
...long-term burden sustainable you need a broad alliance, to spread the load, to reduce excessive burdens on yourself. You need others to agree on the basic causes and solutions.

Unlike most of their Continental counterparts, whose consumption is falling, the British are drinking more than ever--9.6 L of pure alcohol per person last year, which is 42% more than the amount consumed...
...first dual meet of the season, the Harvard wrestling team, despite solid efforts from all of its wrestlers, could not overcome the hometown Pride at Hofstra Arena in Hempstead, N.Y. on Sunday. Although the evening saw many close matches, the large majority of Crimson grapplers were unable to walk away with victories. Juniors Robbie Preston and Bode Ogunwole both won their matches, but the Harvard wrestlers competing in the other weight classes all fell to their opponents—some in heartbreaking fashion—en route to a 33-12 loss that makes the Crimson’s record...
