...Brown scored in three of its first four possessions. Newly minted Harvard starting quarterback Liam O’Hagan was intercepted twice. While the defense tried to keep Brown tailback and eventual Ivy League Player of the Year Nick Hartigan in check, perennial Crimson-killer Jarret Schreck scorched the turf with huge pass plays from Bears quarterback Joe DiGiacomo.It was not pretty.“We certainly don’t necessarily, at that early stage in the game, do things the easy way,” Harvard coach Tim Murphy said.But when it comes to Brown, the Crimson...
That includes protecting the company's turf. In 1987 Silvio Conte, a Congressman who represented the Massachusetts district where Crane is based, introduced the Conte Amendment, which was passed by Congress and bars foreign suppliers unless no domestic source exists.

With FAS running a large deficit, any money spent on DEAS should not detract from resources that other parts of FAS badly need. The same departmental turf wars that have doomed recent attempts at creating new concentrations could sink DEAS’ expansion. But whether the Faculty deems DEAS’ expansion to be critical or not, Faculty members should know that the financial impact of the proposal on FAS will be minimal. A good portion...
