After a decade and a half, Graham is still one of the most tireless politicians in the state. She is constantly running for reelection--for the council in odd years and the state legislature in even ones--but has fought effectively to maintain the integrity and diversity of Cambridge.

Sweeper Andrea Montalbano played an important role in the Crimson defense, keeping the Tigers out of striking range. Montalbano's strong crosses and fast dribbling repeatly secured the ball for Harvard's front line.

Rice, he a television cameraman and she an elementary-school teacher. After tireless testings of their recipe on friends, they arrived at the right formula. "I thought it should have a high center of gravity so I could dunk it in a cup of coffee and it wouldn't dissolve," Ted recalls. He is right--it doesn't. The allure of the cinnamon...
