...Senior Night for the women’s basketball team in February of 2006, a freshman covered her first live game for The Harvard Crimson’s sports section. I took my seat on press row alongside the then-chair of the Sports Board, excited by the crowds that were (slowly) filtering into Lavietes Pavilion and the Harvard and Princeton squads exchanging high-fives in their layup lines. Noting my wide eyes, my fellow reporter said, “Remember, you can’t cheer.”I had my pen and pad, my tape recorder...
...This is the loudest crowd I have ever heard at a Harvard sporting event. The atmosphere rocked with a sizable number of Michigan fans and a student section that stood and screamed the entire game, resembling students at games in bigger and better conferences.

Twenty-four journalists from the U.S. and abroad have been selected for the 2009-2010 class of Nieman Fellows, the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard announced last week.

One recent study conducted by researchers at Harvard Medical School found that among nearly 12,000 children and teenagers, those whose mothers gained more than the recommended amount of weight during pregnancy were 42% more...
...standard cliché from the two governments that they are "as close as lips and teeth." Over the years, says Bruce Klingner, a senior analyst at Washington's Heritage Foundation and a former deputy chief for Korea in the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence, the agency's analysis section, "the talk in both capitals about the other has often been pretty scathing." Even during the Cold War, Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il's father, would routinely play the Soviet Union and China off each other. In 2002, Kim Jong Il made a well-publicized trip to China...
