Difficult conditions led to a tough weekend for the Harvard skiing team, as the nordic and alpine squads continued their trend of tenth-place finishes at the University of Vermont Carnival in Stowe, Vermont. Despite the new race trail at Spruce Peak, the Stowe course maintained its reputation as one of the most challenging races of the collegiate season. The snow proved to be very dry and grippy, leading to deep ruts at the base of each gate on the course for the alpine events. Also, a white-out of intense snow and booming thunder welcomed the Crimson contingent when...

Cross, along with foil teammate junior Anna Podolsky, led the foil for Harvard. “Our primary objective, especially against Columbia, was to win big time in the foil squad,” Brand said. “They sure turned up big time for us.” The sabre continued to be the Achilles’ heel for the women’s team, pushing the épée and foil to make up the difference.

A vulgar, nightly sound-and-light show dramatizes the moment. But far more unnerving, in a city where it's hardly unusual to see children sleeping in cemeteries, is the pomp on display at the 97-year-old Manila Hotel, a 10-minute stroll toward Manila Bay. In the third Rosales novel, My Brother, My Executioner...
