...Fraser said. “If you look back to our playoff series against Quinnipiac last year, we actually beat them 11-0. And then the next night they came out and they were a different team and they beat us 7-4. Unfortunately, in sports stuff like that happens.”One word sums up the third period: penalties. First, sophomore Ryan Carroll took Hoyle’s place in goal. The Harvard offense, desperate to close the gap, tore into UND with solid passing between juniors Alex Biega and Doug Rogers and a close shot on goal...

It’s cheesy, unrealistic, and incredibly sappy.But what’s wrong with that?Here’s how I imagine a conversation between i-Pod boy and his friend probably sounds like:“What are you listening to, man?”“The Sad Porcupines...
...human nature in front of a crowded room at Sherman Fairchild Hall yesterday evening. Pinker’s lecture, the fifth in an informal seminar series hosted by the Harvard Society for Mind, Brain, and Behavior (HSMBB), centered on issues discussed in his new book “The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window.” Human nature, Pinker said, can be studied by looking at how language works in our everyday lives. “Humans are very, very touchy with their social relationships.
