Resting many of its top performers in preparation for this upcoming weekend’s Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League Championships, the No. 22 Harvard men’s swimming and diving team may have seemed ripe for an upset heading into this past weekend’s ECAC Championships held at the University of Pittsburgh.

The government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is loath to upset a cozy alliance with the far-right Nationalist Action Party, which helped it push through a recent law allowing headscarves in universities. Although thousands of Kurds in the southeast have taken to the streets in recent days to protest the invasion, there has otherwise been virtually no public opposition (with the exception of Ersoy's comment) to the invasion. A political solution to the Kurdish...
