...just one of many philanthropic or socially conscious organizations started by young social entrepreneurs that is experiencing rapid growth and tremendous success. Countless others, including Orphans Against AIDS started by a 26-year-old Harvard Business School student and Unite for Sight started by a Yale sophomore in her dorm room, are living proof that young adults intent on changing the world can have a monumental impact. These recent college graduates who serve nationally and internationally in a myriad ways are no doubt idealists, but don’t they seem to have learned from the naïvet?...

Head coach Dave Fish ’72 specifically remembers the match against Brown, when both...
...success we're seeing today in Iraq has nothing to do with rooting out terrorist cells. What we're seeing instead is a shriveling of grassroots support, Sunni Muslims turning against al-Qaeda and its messianic, dualistic way of looking at the world. It hasn't gone unnoticed in the Middle East that al-Qaeda has killed more Muslims than nonbelievers. Or that al-Qaeda has failed to take an inch of ground in the name of Islam. With this kind of record how could the Iraqis not turn against al-Qaeda...
