...crisis over Social Security—where the Republicans have abdicated all responsibility, resorting instead to mere sloganeering—would be particularly welcome. The Democratic Party remains the best hope for those who long for an America that tends to its needy and that does not subordinate social progress to militarism or deceptively aristocratic economic policies. Kennedy’s withdrawal should allow the party’s new leaders to fashion creative and timely policies to meet the challenge of those ideals, which remain every bit as noble as ever...
...flying to Austin, Texas to play in the NCAA Central Regional Championships. Although the Crimson finished in 19th, it got to face some of the best teams in the country. “It’s been great being here for four years and seeing the team progress so much,” Hazlett said. “The team dynamic has changed as well.

...prevented the Crimson from competing at the top of its game. The squad dropped close matches to Wisconsin and Boston University and suffered convincing losses to seven ranked opponents. “It can be easy to slip into feeling that losses mean you’re not making progress,” junior Laura Peterzan said after Harvard’s loss to No. 16 William and Mary. “It’s important to bear in mind we are playing incredibly strong teams. This is all making us stronger.” Against No. 1 Northwestern...
