...Princeton in its opening bout of the Easterns. Ludwick netted a goal just two minutes into the game, making a statement that Harvard had come ready to face the Tigers, who were nearly national champions last year.The short-lived lead was not the first the sixth-seeded Crimson would squander in a weekend. After playing competitively with Princeton for two periods, Harvard lost its offensive gusto, losing 9-5. The Crimson dropped its next match to Slippery Rock 10-9 in double overtime after leading for the entire regulation period. Fighting for seventh place, the Crimson beat Iona to Sunday...
Gorbachev has been unsparing in his criticisms of Soviet economic performance. "You squander countless resources in every industry," he told party workers in Leningrad last May. But so far he has been unwilling to modify in any essential way the system of centralized state control of every aspect of economic life fashioned by Joseph Stalin; he has been trying only to make it work better. While promising to "restructure" the economy, Gorbachev pointedly avoids using the word reform, apparently because it implies a more drastic change than any he is ready to contemplate...
...Harvard, there are many ways to spend an hour on a weekday evening, but surely the opportunity to ask tough questions of leaders on issues that matter to us is an important one we should not squander.

It is our hope that more undergraduates will take advantage of the opportunity to learn from those who come to the Forum, and hold them accountable for their...
...truly disappointing that WISHR chose Tuesday to squander the valuable role it stood to play in the dialogue about the future of women in science at this University in favor of making suggestions that do little more than reinforce the negative socialized stereotypes Summers’ remarks have been criticized for conjuring. It is truly baffling that, even as criticism is levelled at Summers, the group he was most likely to have alienated seems to agree with him. We are left, therefore, with the age-old question...
...consciousness, rarely gaining enough thematic momentum or significance to justify their existences. A rivalry with fellow oceanographer Alistair Hennessey (Jeff Goldblum) offers a handful of barbed laughs, but ultimately devolves into plot-driving filler. Utterly superfluous segments about the expedition’s financial woes cheekily squander the ample talents of actor Michael Gambon (Gosford Park). To decry an Anderson film for its sideline prattling may be missing the point, but where seemingly nonsensical scenes might have served to amplify Zissou’s tragic failings or better explain his often whimsical actions, they instead pack the film with tedious...
