Disaster-movie-type predictions that a potential undersea disturbance could unleash a giant tsunami, or tidal wave, on the United States' low-lying Eastern Seaboard are probably overblown. Sparked by a report in this month's issue of the journal Geology that researchers have discovered cracks in the continental shelf off Virginia, residents have been alarmed by visions of 20-foot waves heading toward North Carolina, Virginia and Washington, D.C. The scientists behind the report, however, are very cautious in saying that such an event is highly unlikely. "This is a possible disaster kind of scenario, but it's just...
Though Harvard posted no victories, each team began its season with solid performances, and the squads are looking forward to their eastern seaboard return when they take on Brown in the Stein Cup on April 15th...

TFs and professors ignorant of the seven-minute phenomenon (more people who insist on living within their own time zones) succeed only in speaking to empty seats and causing embarrassment to those students who are actually in sync with the rhythms of their school. And because most Harvard students seem to be naturally late, the rule extends...
During the first half of the century, the American elite was a distinct, quasi-hereditary group whose members were all men, all white and almost all Protestant (quite often Episcopalian).

Exemplified by Henry Stimson, who served as both Secretary of State and Secretary...
Barnes and Drake are two of the swimmers who will shave and taper this weekend to see if they can make for the Eastern Seaboard Intercollegiate League championship March 2-4, and possibly for the NCAA Tournament later in the month. Both tournaments have specific qualifying times, and Barnes hopes shaving will give him a chance to reach those times this weekend...
