...series of titles—three straight from 1996-1998 and a pair in 2002 and 2003—the streak began after a vaunted freshman class had a year to grow up. Allison Feaster ‘98 led the Crimson to three straight titles and a shocking upset of No. 1 seed Stanford in the 1998 NCAA Tournament. Hana Peljto ‘04 and company came back after their freshman year to guide Harvard to back-to-back titles in their sophomore and junior seasons.The growing pains—two sloppy performances against Yale, a slow first...
...Farid’s encounter, The Harvard Salient published the now-famous anti-Islamic Danish cartoons. Associate Dean of Harvard College Judith H. Kidd responded with an e-mail to the conservative biweekly warning that “some segments of the campus and surrounding communities may be sufficiently upset by the publication of the cartoons that they may become dangerous.” She later apologized.In light of the College’s indifferent response to Farid’s verbal attack, Muslim students found Kidd’s original e-mail misplaced.“When things actually...

Besides, this huge ensemble effort employed close to a hundred L.A. actors. As Stewart urged the crowd in his opening monologue, ?Raise your hands if you were not in Crash...
...Europeans so upset over Mittal Steel's bid to merge with Arcelor [Feb. 13]? Where I come from, Western companies have gobbled up local firms?and entire industries, for that matter?and that's supposed to be just fine. It's disturbing to see that when someone from the developing world tries to set foot in the West, the move is always met with convoluted and unfounded criticism. The West has got to recognize that globalization, formerly a one-way street, now carries heavy traffic from the East. I guess that is what laissez-faire is all about. The West...
