...without merit. According to a Crimson survey of the class of 2009, in their four years at Harvard, 52 percent of the students had one or zero sexual partners, and only 28 percent had even one dating partner.

...Although the cross competition is now complete, snowboarding has some hazards to offer. Over the next two days, men and women will flip and McTwist off the 22-ft. (6.7 m) half pipe during that popular, perilous event. The snowboarding world is still sobered by the frightening recent incident involving Kevin Pearce, the American medal hopeful who struck his forehead on the pipe in December, resulting in a serious brain injury. The Flying Tomato himself, Shaun White, narrowly escaped grave injury while practicing a complicated trick last month. The Americans are favored to win gold. But is that medal worth...
