...Goffredo was kept in check all evening by Hughes, whose superior length, quickness, and strength helped limit Harvard’s second-leading scorer to just nine points on 3-of-10 shooting from the field overall and 1-of-6 from three-point range. During a crucial stretch late in the second half with Harvard making a last-ditch effort to cut into the Yale lead, Hughes blocked three-point attempts by Goffredo on consecutive possessions. Overall, Goffredo—who led Harvard with 40 treys coming into the game—looked as uncomfortable shooting the ball...
...fouling. Harvard committed its seventh team foul midway through the period, putting Yale in the one-and-one free-throw bonus, and gave Yale the double-bonus by committing a 10th foul at the 6:14 mark. Yale was thus able to hold off the Crimson down the stretch at the free-throw line. The Crimson cut a 61-51 Yale lead down to 64-61 with 6:12 to play, thanks to seven points from Cusworth to go along with a three-pointer by Housman. But two consecutive Harvard fouls led to four straight made free throws by Holmes...

In both cases, as the music progresses, one chord after another lights up in patterns that occupy a surprisingly small stretch of musical real estate. According to Tymoczko, most pieces of chord-based music tend to do the same, although they may live in a different part of the orbifold space. Indeed, any conceivable chord lies somewhere in that space, although most of them would sound screechingly harsh to human ears...
...facsimile of its famous namesake-we are picked up by two N.P.A. men in jeans and T shirts in a four-wheel drive with darkened windows, then speed out of town along potholed logging tracks. As we leave the highway far behind, the villages grow visibly poorer; a rare stretch of paved road is announced by a sign bearing the President's face and the slogan GLORIA CARES. In many villages, government troops are dug in behind sandbags and razor wire. Three hours later, we transfer to trail bikes and roar along deserted tracks to a semi-derelict logging shack...
