...this one Saturday a year, two universities known more for their academic than gridiron prowess admit to each other that they care about football--and at least for that afternoon--care deeply. Few future careers will be made or broken today, many will come to their natural and intended conclusions; that's part of The Game's charm. It lives on as a great institution not because the thousands of individuals who will gather today at Harvard Stadium--and the thousands of individuals who would like to be here--have been told that this football game means something, but because...

One moment he is seated in a café on the Aegean island of Samos, home of Pythagoras and Aristarchus, explaining the first stirrings of Greek scientific prowess. At another moment, he is strolling through the venerable Cavendish Laboratories of England's Cambridge University, recounting the birth of modern atomic physics. At still another, he is standing in the bleak wastes of Death Valley, discussing the efforts of the Viking landers to find living things on Mars. Alas...
