Harvard entered the game with an already thin defensive corps decimated by injuries. The Crimson, who began the season with just five defensemen lost junior Colleen Malek and freshmen Melissa Milbert earlier in the year and saw star forward/defensemen A.J. Mleczko go down with a shoulder injury in last week's Dartmouth game. These injuries left the Crimson with just one defensive substitute...
Simpson, who could earn as much as $3 million from the tape if sales are hot, still owes his criminal-defense team hundreds of thousands of dollars and has not paid the lawyers in his civil trial one thin dime. Three weeks ago, when some of Simpson's friends came to his home to look at the video, he complained that "these white folks ain't gonna let me do anything.

"Polls show that, depending on how you ask the question, Americans are concerned when...
...disconfirm the valid presence of African-Americans at Harvard. Symbols have consequences. As race is America's" original sin," we will never be able to regard the "race problem" as "solved;" and even here in a community the celebrates rationality, civility and diversity, it is only a thin veneer of these admirable qualities that keeps in check the passions and paranoias that are always lurking just beneath the surface of our discourse. So I should not be surprised that a memorial to the southern dead at Harvard would seem to call into question Harvard's own commitment to the true...
