Rock will have its place, with U2 and the Wallflowers readying new CDs, and soul will have its day, with Erykah Badu making a welcome return and Sade making a welcome and long-awaited one.

No, these mysterious folk are not on their way to a Marquis de Sade costume party: they are members of the Harvard equestrian team. "I always get weird looks when I stride across the Yard in my riding outfit," complains the team's coordinating co-captain Sia Shin `99. "It's a good thing we leave the whips in the barn."
