...also points to Lee’s experience as a two-time Olympian as a driving force behind any improvement. “It’s impossible to overstate the impact [these coaches] have had,” Farrar said. “We have a giant vacuum where two of the very best assistant coaches in the NCAA used to be.” The squad will undoubtedly feel the loss of both its coaches and key seniors, but Voith summarized Harvard’s optimism that a disappointing season will not go to waste...
...Stepping into the vacuum created by the government's faltering response to the crisis was a natural step for the Tarakais, says Liaqat Tarakai, the acting head of the family. "We have been doing charity work for a long time," he says. Every night during the Muslim month of Ramadan, the vast kitchens located on the edge of the sprawling Tarakai estate feed some 50,000 people from this region.

"There is nothing to do here," says Ali Adib, one of the directors of Journey, a drug-rehabilitation NGO in Malé, and a recovering addict himself. "The whole social fabric...
...Incest and polyamory are two models of marriage that, in a vacuum, are as legitimate as monogamy and same-sex marriage, as both involve consenting adults but violate the reproductive norm of one man and one woman. Should incest and polyamory be permitted? No, as society has come to a consensus that they should not be. But this agreement is an arbitrary one, as is the current agreement that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Let us then recognize that a new agreement upon the definition of marriage as the union of two consenting, non-incestuous adults...
