...puck came free, co-captain Angela Ruggiero gained possession, finding a clear path to the net. Instead, she stopped in her tracks, turning back to her teammate in a selfless act that sacrificed an opportunity to be the game’s hero but embodied the team spirit that has driven Harvard this far into the postseason. In short, Ruggiero did just what any good captain, teammate, and friend would have done—she went to look after her own before looking out for herself...
...applaud Pforzheimer House Masters James and Suzanne McCarthy for being the first to grant daytime keycard access to non-House members (News, “24-Hour Key Access Pushed,” March 16). I wish, however, that their current policies would continue to reflect this spirit. This year, Pfoho has closed most of its doors to non-residents, only allowing students to swipe in at the entrances nearest the shuttle stop. This policy, though inconvenient, does allow non-residents to visit friends and attend study groups in Pfoho’s main building...
...lifestyles, who suffer through dining hall fare day after day—for whom spring break means a bus ride home, instead of a flight to Bermuda—by the time senior year arrives, they learn that the barriers of economic class extend, not surprisingly, to class spirit as well. Class rings, those three- to four-figure graduation souvenirs, are an unrivaled sign of vanity and unparalleled purchase of pretentiousness—the fitting cap to a $120,000 education at the most arrogant of institutions. Students who buy them know they are wasting their money, but they don?...
...anatomical slur that Calamity Jane does (though, in Middle English, it started with a q). Milch says most of our high-megaton profanities are centuries old, and accounts of the West "are full of the testimony of people whose sensibilities have been scandalized by the resourcefulness of the human spirit in fitting so many obscenities in the most ordinary declarative sentence." This, he says, was the point: Deadwood, S.D., was outside the bounds of the U.S., the law and propriety--just as Milch is now beyond the long reach of the ABC censors who dogged him on NYPD Blue...
David Van Biema's Viewpoint "Why It's So Bloody," on Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ [March 1], stated that the movie's brutal imagery is attuned more to the religious spirit of the Middle Ages than to today's Christianity. But the point of the movie is to remind Christians--and proclaim to non-Christians--that Jesus, in his humanity, suffered terribly in order to be offered up as the perfect sacrifice. There is no way to portray this other than in graphic detail. Many of today's Christians want to worship Jesus' Resurrection without contemplating...
