...participation in Harvard athletics has shown us that Kurzman's allegations have no credence whatsoever. In a publication with the high standards of The Harvard Crimson I would have expected a better documented and researched article.

Though he returned to play in four of the Crimson's final five games, including last year's Yale game, he had lost between 15 and 20 pounds and never fully regained his strength...
