...even greater.At Harvard, these faults don’t matter because our rafters are bare. At least on the men’s side—the women have accumulated enough Ivy Championships under Coach Kathy Delaney-Smith for both teams. Our pavilion can’t seat three thousand, let alone 13, 751—the capacity at Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor. And on top of this, the pressure is off Amaker because, to put it bluntly, nobody at Harvard really cares.At least not yet.Looking past the critiques, you will find a potential for success Harvard hasn?...
...animals drowned trying to cross the Mara at the start of their journey back east to the Serengeti. The deaths are natural: each year, crocodiles and the strong current claim some victims. The numbers, though, are bizarre. The migration rarely leaves more than a few thousand dead; but this year, an estimated 10,000, or about 1% of the wildebeest population, were wiped out. Conservationists say the wildebeest simply chose the wrong point to cross the river, one where the bank on the other side was too steep to climb. As those in the front drowned, they trapped those behind...
...best ones make it look easy. Acting is a business of a thousand tiny judgments and intuitions, all to make the craft disappear and the character materialize.

Of course he was John Adams in the PBS miniseries The Adams Chronicles. When he played any number of brash young men in TV anthology series, he was those men, as just as easily, or magically, the flinty gents...

Springsteen hasn’t released a straight-ahead rock album since 2002’s “The Rising,” making folkier albums like “We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions” and “Devils & Dust” instead. Despite their critical success, it’s impossible not to yearn for what The Boss...
...cost of applying to medical school is simply outrageous. A typical Harvard undergraduate, for example, can pay over six thousand dollars during the application process, shelling out money for test prep courses, application fees, and travel expenses for interviews. Applying to a single school costs at least $200, since the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) charges a $160 processing fee for the first application (and $30 dollars for each subsequent application), while most colleges’ secondary applications require additional processing fees of $50 to $100 dollars each...
