...play, Harvard fought back for two victories against Columbia the following day. The Crimson maintained an even record in the Ivy League splitting twinbills with Brown and Yale the following weekend and again with Princeton and Penn the weekend after that. Harvard broke out of its give-and-take rut once more before the season ended by sweeping Holy Cross in a non-conference doubleheader. Next year, junior captain Julia Kidder will continue her role as team captain, a job she split this past season with McAteer. Kidder also received the team’s award for Best Defensive Player...
...early network appearances to Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged session, reaching a climax when the band appears as—surprise!—themselves. Unfortunately, all these changing costumes only remind us that the Chili Peppers have been stuck in the same musical-historical rut for the past 10 years. “Dani California” sounds like any of the flood of MTV-friendly, moderately funky, poppy singles that have come off of the band’s last three albums.

She felt blocked in her creativity, out of touch with herself and for some inexplicable reason unable to use green or blue in her abstract paintings. So last spring, she started an unusual treatment: daily two-hour sessions of Mozart's music for three weeks at a time, filtered through special vibrating headphones that sometimes cut out the lowest tones. The impact, she says, was dramatic. "I'm much more at ease with myself, with people, with everything," says Eliad, 33. "It feels like I've done 10 years...
