...This is the loudest crowd I have ever heard at a Harvard sporting event. The atmosphere rocked with a sizable number of Michigan fans and a student section that stood and screamed the entire game, resembling students at games in bigger and better conferences. An excellent performance on both ends saw the Crimson take each Wolverine blow in stride before scoring the final 11 points to win. Harvard students high on euphoria then stormed the court. Michigan may have been a terrible team in the Big 10 that year, but it still is a big-time program, and its visit...
...despite fielding a young team comprised mainly of freshmen and sophomores. “I thought the cross country season went well,” Saretsky said. “The team competed hard and continued to show what Harvard is capable of.” The Crimson truly stood out in the Heptagonal Championships, where sophomore Claire Richardson, who completed the 5K course in just 17:43.00, finished fourth to lead the women.

That's not to say that the shape of the brain tells you nothing about the characteristics of social species, particularly when the species in question are primates.

Or, as Obama may well have been saying when he nominated Sotomayor this week, how important they already...
...what-you-kill culture and deep dive into mortgage securities sowed the seeds of its demise--but the real draw is the book's surgical detail. The day Bear sold itself to JPMorgan Chase for a paltry $2 a share, its CEO, worn down by round-the-clock negotiations, stood in a Starbucks and softly cried as he waited for his coffee. Street Fighters won't hold up as the most comprehensive history of how high finance fell apart in 2008. But it may be remembered as the most human...
