...quick glance at the Harvard baseball team’s record after its first series of the season—a four-game set this weekend against Jacksonville State in Jacksonville, Ala.—might elicit a heavy sigh from the viewer, indicating a resigned preparedness to watch the Crimson struggle through another difficult campaign.But Harvard’s 1-3 mark is slightly misleading. The Crimson’s production at the plate—which was virtually nonexistent during certain stretches last season—appears to be in top form, and a few isolated meltdowns overshadowed...
...instinctive combination between tri-captains. At the Harvard blue-line, senior forward Sarah Vaillancourt launched a defense-splitting pass to senior Jenny Brine for a 1-on-1 with RPI goaltender Sonja van der Bliek. The forward veered left and fired a backhand shot, but was denied by a quick recovery by the Engineeers’ goaltender.At 10:08, Crimson pressure resulted in the puck finding its way into the RPI net—only for the goal to be disallowed. Following a snap shot by junior Kathryn Farni from distance, sophomore Leanne Coskren scrambled the puck into the goal...
...toughness with a dominant 10-2 win in the third place bout.While Harvard’s top three competitors earned the majority of the Crimson’s points, the squad enjoyed other quality showings.Although sophomore Andy Olsen (174) and rookies Bryan Panzano (165) and Sean Murphy (197) made quick exits from the talented field, veterans Tommy Picarsic (133) and Knapp (285) pushed deep into the consolation bracket.After using only 6:09 to earn a 15-0 victory in his first bout, Picarsic used his momentum to push top-seeded Joe Baker of Navy to the limit. The Crimson senior...
...quick action by the president and his advisors in the midst of this truly frightening recession deserves praise. We are disappointed, however, that certain members of Congress have used this recession as an excuse to enact legislation that makes it all but impossible for financial firms to hire skilled foreign graduates of American universities, including Harvard. A little-known provision in the ARRA classifies all firms receiving federal bailout funds from the Troubled Assets Relief Program as H-1B dependent, legally mandating them to find American citizens or legal permanent residents to fill any job opening before offering a position...
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva did make a halfhearted attempt to spur a national debate last year, calling abortion a public-health issue - even as he declared himself steadfastly against it. But with the Church quick to stifle such talk and the general public not sufficiently engaged to demand action, the debate never took off. In truth, abortions and unwanted pregnancies are a sad constant in Brazil. Although abortion is illegal, an estimated 1 million women each year have one. The poor are forced into clandestine clinics or take medication, while the better-off are treated...
