...Once he saw Foy's diplomatic vehicle pass through the security barrier, the man jumped into his car and rammed it into the 4X4, detonating a bomb with a force strong enough to obliterate both vehicles, shatter every window of the 10-story hotel's western face and send nearby military jeeps flying 50 feet over concrete barriers. More than 50 people have been reported gravely injured and television footage shows clothing, limbs and debris from the blast tangled in telephone and electricity wires...
...communities. Each meal in our houses is an opportunity to interact, from a position of relative security, with those we might ordinarily ignore. Simply dragging a friend along to a table of VES concentrators or varsity athletes and engaging in open conversation would do more to shatter misconceptions and improve the strength of our undergraduate community than secretly wishing away entire subgroups of our peers ever could.Perhaps a moment of common humility—I am, I realize, ideally situated to lecture on this particular virtue—will convince us all that any attempt to define Harvard along exclusionary...
...only have one wheel, but he’s kind of a big deal. Not satisfied with his Guinness World Record title as the fastest marathon “joggler” (juggling while running), Zach J.

When two Buddhist monks enter the room, they are drawn to the pieces like moths to a flame, which is hardly surprising...
...faces ECAC-newcomer Quinnipiac. The Bobcats, who fill the void left by Vermont’s departure, have scheduled the game in the Hartford Civic Center in anticipation of a large crowd. The arena has a concert capacity of 16,500, and tonight’s contest could easily shatter the old ECAC record of 7,460 fans. Coincidentally, Harvard had a hand in that mark as well: on Feb. 3, 1979, the Crimson faced Yale in the New Haven Coliseum for a game that set the current mark. “This is a good team...
