...scene: junior Jeomi Maduka has paced Cornell to a 5-1 start, and Yale—until suffering its second loss of the league slate to the Crimson last weekend— has been in the mix as well. But while other teams seem to be just hitting their stride, Harvard has been in this scenario before. In a league where any team can win on any night, the Crimson is in the best position to take the title back to Lavietes. So if the team doesn’t repeat as Ivy champions, you might say that I jinxed...
...most part, the people on the streets of central Barking were taking the audio messages in stride - on a recent day, few even stopped to seek the source of the sound each time one was broadcast. Barking's a working-class area with a large population of senior citizens. Incomes are low; unemployment is high; and the shopping area is bereft of the chi-chi stores and expensive coffee bars so prevalent in central London.

(But his victims would. That tail whips out of the water and snaps the Brooklyn Bridge...
...Harvard students the chance to catch up on all the lessons of failure that they missed out on earlier. For valuable as the “Harvard name” is, it does not magically unlock every door. Success requires effort, diligence, and the ability to take rejection in stride. Harvard’s comps give students the opportunity to learn this before they are thrust into the real world, where things will no longer be handed to them on silver platters, unless they work in the catering industry. And this is an important lesson, although an ability to write...
