While the Harvard track and field team had anything but a spectacular season record, there’s a story that the numbers don’t tell. The Crimson men lost all three of the team scoring meets and twice finished third of three against Ivy competition. The women fared slightly better, winning one of the three scored meets but also falling to third place in its two three-team Ivy meets. Numbers on the roster, and not performance, were responsible for the team’s struggles. “I feel like individually, we?...
...longest in the history of mankind,” and dinner later that evening, Jack and the future Mrs. Welch realized their relationship was a romantic one.The next day, she called her boss Walter Kiechel ’68, editorial director of Harvard Business School Publications, to tell him that he should pull the article she had written on Jack Welch.

Moulitsas has an open, young face, so it's hard to tell if he's kidding or not when...
...Daily Kos is a cult of personality. Susan Gardener, one of the elect contributors who can post to the blog's front page, says Moulitsas simply "created a huge town hall and then stood back and let it happen." Yet the cell phone pictures snapped and the rapt audiences tell another story. Moulitsas says that the consultants whom he originally planned to excoriate in his book "now are asking for autographs....The same with some reporters." Adam Nagourney, a political reporter for the New York Times who's traveled with Moulitsas and follows the blog, admits to being beguiled...
