Then Ruggiero almost single-handedly shut down the UNH offense, and Harvard's vaunted top line began to dominate the action as the Crimson outshot the Wildcats, 20-6, in the second. Harvard even managed a few shorthanded shots after a roughing penalty against Francisco. It was a stark contrast from the first period, when UNH's power-play unit scored twice...

Yet they are so serene and peacefully content, one has to wonder if they know something the rest of us don't. Can the soul live best when it lives simply? This is one of the many...
