...sample of some great Crimson sports storylines to follow this year. Harvard’s also got plenty to offer in the way of stellar individual athletes. Senior fencer Emily Cross returns to Harvard after leading Team USA’s foil squad to silver in Beijing this summer and All-Americans J.P. O’Connor–a junior wrestler and the toughest 149-pounder you’ll probably ever come across–and Becky Christiansen–the Crimson’s record-smashing high jump queen–make new runs at NCAA titles...

The most recent of these incidents occurred in August, when two HUPD officers confronted a black high school student working at Harvard for the summer as he tried to remove a lock from his bicycle. To be sure, HUPD officers generally discharge their duties with professionalism and distinction, and they provide an invaluable service to all in the Harvard community. But the emerging pattern of racially charged incidents and subsequent discontent among affected minority groups on campus...
...family with power and water, they came over here for showers and lunch beforehand. My sister also showed up - looking for a shower and some air conditioning. Houston was built on a filled swamp, and it's hot and humid on the best of days in the summer. Throw in a hurricane and torrential rain storms, and it's a miserable place to be without air conditioning...
