...solid victory against a strong Irish team demonstrated that the Crimson are prepared to challenge again for an Ivy League title. Earlier this week, the Irish women crushed Yale...
...uninformed dean even wanted to know what niche the concentration was intended to fill. Not to offend anyone, but this question is quite absurd from the student's point of view. We have spent countless hours of frustration trying to construct a solid plan of study within the framework of existing majors.

The simpleminded rhetoric about an evil empire would yield to more refined management of foreign policy under the former director of the CIA. Bush, a diplomat at the U.N. and in China, was not like Reagan, who before...
