...CHARITYDespite its defensive failings, Harvard may have been able to complete its comeback from a 12-point second half deficit with better conversion from the free-throw line. Entering the contest shooting 79 percent as a team, an outstanding mark, Harvard made only 11-of-18 from the charity stripe against CCSU. Four of those misses came in the game’s final seven minutes, when the squad was desperately struggling to draw even with the Blue Devils.“The game was a very challenging game from a physical standpoint,” Sullivan said...
...within 12, the Crimson closed out the contest on a 9-0 run, including a thunderous two-handed dunk from Cusworth with just under a minute remaining. Junior guard Jim Goffredo hit six free throws in the final 2:17, part of a 12-for-12 performance from the stripe on the night, as he joined Cusworth as the game’s high scorer with 15 points.

Granted, his voice isn't double-tracked, as Valli's often was on records, and I caught Young on a night when he'd already done a matinee. On the pristinely produced Jersey Boys original cast CD (with helpful liner notes...
...festive Marines in uniform shouted “Happy Birthday” to one another and greeted three Harvard undergraduates in attendance who are planning to join the Marine Corps. “It’s exciting to see so many people in uniform with the red-blood stripe down their leg,” said Joseph M. Kristol ’09, a Midshipman 4th class in the Naval ROTC. “It’s good to be around real Marines.” In a bow to their Business School surroundings, the traditional re-telling...
