...best indication of what will happen when Harvard takes on No. 1-ranked Yale on Feb. 22, as neither Lorentzen nor two-time defending Individuals champion Michelle Quibell competed. Last season, the Harvard women’s squash team came up one match short in its quest to dethrone Yale. The Bulldogs escaped Cambridge with a 5-4 win and their two-year winning streak intact, and went on to win another Ivy League title and a second consecutive national championship.With Lorentzen joining junior and last year’s No. 1 Kyla Grigg at the top of the ladder...
Confessions on a Dance Floor (Warner) 4 1/2 stars Ever since the mid-’80s, the mother of reinvention has been on a quest for enlightenment.

Instead of appealing to socialist notions of equality in their quest for higher wages, they couched their stance in terms of cost of living and prevailing wage rates. And in lieu of occupying Mass. Hall, they sent workers’ children to Larry Summers’ house on Halloween to ask for money for their families—only to realize that...
...years of Ancient Eight play, Harvard has never won a league title. While three of the other Ivy schools (Brown, Cornell and Columbia) have only claimed the title once, the Crimson’s ineptitude in its championship quest overshadows them all, in much the same way that the droughts of the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox dominated talk surrounding the 2004 and 2005 Major League Baseball playoffs. In fact, certain members of this year’s Harvard squad have adopted slogans similar to those repeated by fans of the aforementioned baseball clubs...
