...only thing this lovely book lacks is a sense of humor. Delhi has probably been ruled by a more continuous string of misfits, incompetents and cowards than any other imperial city, which may be why it has been sacked so often-among those who did the honors were Timur, the British, the Persians and the Afghans (at least three times). So many boastful tombs and forts designed for so many third-rate sultans! Know your history, and it's impossible to keep a straight face as you drive down the posh Lodi Road (named in honor of a dynasty that...

...loss to Boston University in the opening round, but “I tried to present [last night’s game] to our group as a point of pride,” said Harvard coach Ted Donato ’91.

Every viewer, though, will be impressed...

...What we get is not so much a concert film as a documentary, and a beautiful one. A case in point is the rendition of the introspective It's a Dream: e.g., a close-up on Young's craggy face is framed by silhouettes of members of the Nashville String Machine, who look like black apparitions bathed in neon gold light...

...finally took over the frame, using an 8-2 run to close out the Brewers, 30-24. “It’s a first step,” Ridolfi said of the victory. “We needed to take this first step. Hopefully, now we can string together a few wins.” The Crimson will play its next five matches on the road, including three Hay Division matchups against New Haven, New Jersey Tech, and Springfield. But Harvard will start that slate with two non-conference matchups, facing Rivier in Nashua, N.H., on Wednesday...
