Reading in the Norton Lecture Hall of Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum marked a triumphal homecoming for John Ashbery. A contributor and member of the executive board of The Harvard Advocate, Ashbery composed one of his best-known poems, “Some Trees,” while still an undergraduate. Since his graduation and his selection as Class Poet, Ashbery has won nearly every prestigious poetry award in the nation, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry for his 1975 volume Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror...
...women’s hockey and men’s squash. In that way the same exhilaration that pervaded the sidelines in the Yale Bowl can be replicated more regularly on our campus. In the meantime, those who were lucky enough to be at The Game can savor a triumphal end to a historic season.

...Daytona Beach, Fla., a Sunday ago, it was an Earnhardt kind of day: contradictions everywhere. It was going to be a triumphal afternoon, with a huge network audience watching, the ultimate proof, as if anyone needed it, that NASCAR was nationwide. Yet the sissies had won too, and rules were in place to slow the cars, but the changes seemed to be making the racing more dangerous. An earlier crash looked like an Armageddon of a wreck: 19 cars careering around, smashing into one another, Tony Stewart's Pontiac soaring through the air, ripping the hood off another car, metal...
