...agreeing with my twenty-something Argentine peers by simply opposing the war in Iraq or Bush’s disregard for an Argentina on the brink of collapse in 2001 doesn’t redeem me in their eyes. Engaged in an Argentine-beer-fueled, late-night debate about the evils of the U.S.’s foreign policy, I explained that I had voted against Bush in 2004, and that I would be happier to see him go than most.

To add injury to insult, Suchde, the Crimson’s No. 1 player, sustained an ankle injury in his match against Princeton’s Mauricio Sanchez, forcing him to retire. Trying to redeem a once-promising season, Harvard, without an Ivy title, vied for the CSA Team Championship. The Crimson breezed through the first round, defeating Western Ontario, 9-0, but Princeton proved to be troublesome once again. The Tigers won a close 5-4 match, relegating Harvard to the third-place match, where...
