...enthusiastic crowd gathered at the Coop to watch Kallaugher demonstrate his caricature techniques. He first drew a singing nun he had as a teacher in grade school, followed by former Vice President Al Gore ’69, John Kerry, and George H.W. Bush...
...very impressive” Harvard coach Sue Caples said. “But this game showed that there’s a lot we can learn, and we will.” From the opening minutes, the Terriers (11-6) dominated the match like an old fashioned teacher dominates a classroom, keeping the Crimson almost constantly on the defensive. BU outshot Harvard 13-1, and hardly a crimson shirt crossed into the Terriers’ half of the field. Whenever the Crimson had an opening to respond, its play was halting and shaky.

They may not be briefed on the roots of such Islamic mores, but they'll still wonder why they can't see their teacher's face.

It is ironic that living in an Islamic theocracy, this is something I would never have...
