Resting many of its top performers in preparation for this upcoming weekend’s Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League Championships, the No. 22 Harvard men’s swimming and diving team may have seemed ripe for an upset heading into this past weekend’s ECAC Championships held at the University of Pittsburgh. But thanks to the efforts of several Crimson underclassmen, Harvard (9-0, 8-0 EISL, 7-0 Ivy) continued its unblemished season and successfully defended its ECAC crown from a year ago, clearing the 26-team field by an astounding 60-point margin and finishing...
...Harvard team appeared in the continuation of a six-match win streak for Matt Button at 165 lbs. The senior took out the Bears’ Chris Muesser to earn the Crimson its only other points in the match.

Still, the time is ripe to suggest what the administration should seek in their appointment. If the new dean embarks on his position with gusto for open communication and reception to students’ concerns, the relationship between the new appointee and the students of the College will be the most advantageous for both parties...
...Odierno also realized early on that the insurgents could never be defeated the old-fashioned way. "You cannot kill your way out of an insurgency," Petraeus tells Time. "You're not going to defeat everybody out there. You have to turn them." And many of America's enemies were ripe for turning. Before the surge, elements of al-Qaeda in Anbar province were carrying out grisly atrocities against local Sunnis, including women and children, who refused to join the jihad against Americans. The Sunnis approached the Americans for help, and Petraeus was happy to oblige. The local uprising against...
