...FRIDAY, DAY 7: The fever has broken. I awaken, for the first time, without instinctively looking at the silenced television. This is only partly because nothing decent airs on Fridays. At midnight I don't even rush to grab the remote. Not until 12:20 a.m. do I turn on the set. The colors are blinding, the fast cuts almost nauseating. I tune into E!'s Wild on the Adriatic, and everything seems nonsensical; I can't distinguish pixilated breasts from pixilated buttocks. I am a caveman...

Restraining or criticizing Israel from participating in that war by hunting down Palestinian terrorists spells disaster for the U.S. as much as for Israel itself...
Through 17 games at Harvard thus far, Stefanchik was hitting .417 with a team-leading 15 runs scored and 12 stolen bases in 13 attempts. That batting average understates her ability to get on base, because her hits are often scored as errors when she forces infielders to rush their throws. Already a two-time Ivy Rookie of the Week honoree, she’s on pace to break the Harvard single-season stolen base record of 25 with ease...
