...started to lose sight of the ball. A missed field goal, an interception, and two fumbles kept both sides from scoring in the first two extra periods. Would the epic clash ever end, or would the failing light force a tie for the first time since 1968?Perhaps the spirit of The Game, unwilling to suffer such a travesty, then took over. Defensive tackle Michael Berg ’07 intercepted Bulldogs quarterback Jeff Mroz on first down, giving the Crimson another chance to clinch the game. And as he did many times in his career, Dawson delivered, rushing three...
...enlightenment, serving as Bodhi Tree for this modern-day Buddha. Harvard is probably one of the most left-brained places in the world. Nirvana and self-cessation do not blend well with the hypercompetitive, ego-driven culture that is cultivated at this bastion of the protestant ethic and spirit of capitalism. Before her stroke, Taylor was very much a part of the Harvard ethos, a neuroscientist who, according to her colleagues, displayed none of the mysticism that would characterize her future.

He is 37, educated at Morehouse and Yale. His delivery is silky smooth, not nearly as bluntly political as the 66-year-old Wright's. But it is no less of a performance: He often pops the microphone between his hands during a sermon, so as to free the other hand to chop the air to emphasize words...
...museum itself? It's entertaining and briskly informative, filled with flat-screen TVs showing period footage and glass cases that hold things like old Jefferson Airplane album covers. I enjoyed it well enough. But I was never able to shake the feeling that the place that really preserves the spirit of Woodstock is that big open field outside. Woodstock was the last great event of the 19th century, a delayed outburst of Romantic-era communalism and nature worship. It was built on sentiments that aren't conveyed very well by institutional means. So if you visit the museum, which...
