...diplomat, journalist, scholar and WW II Navy veteran, David Newsom wore many hats. But his greatest gift was for adept negotiation; Newsom's expertise was often called for during the most delicate and urgent situations, notably while he served as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs from 1978 to '81. During that period he had to contend with Pakistan's growing nuclear program, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the 444-day Iranian hostage crisis, in which 52 Americans were held captive in Tehran. A lifelong public servant, Newsom always advocated negotiation and debate before resorting to conflict...
...Next, Harvard has to continue getting solid contributions from its veteran pitchers while giving some of its kids a chance to play. This is an easy one, since Eadington’s injury creates two open spots in the weekend rotation. Senior hurlers Sean Haviland and Brad Unger have been solid this season, excluding Haviland’s poor showing against Penn on Monday, so they bring some stability while rookies like Hofeld and Ben Sestanovich get a chance to show their stuff.

Before Harvard posted five runs in its first game against Cornell yesterday, the Crimson had only scored twice in its previous four contests...
...play in confined areas such as soccer fields. A live person runs on and off the field to play the role of the Snitch, the evasive flying ball whose capture ends the game. Though Harvard lacks a Quidditch team, it isn’t without enthusiasm for the sport. Veteran Quidditch player Christopher J. Carothers ’11 joined the Dartmouth College team in a game against Middlebury, playing as a Beater (one of the two team members responsible for throwing Bludgers at other players, contributing to Quidditch’s badass mayhem). Although Carothers says he doesn?...
...Suddenly, what has often been an automatic nomination process has been ignited with uncertainty and thus interest. The theatrical element to Obama and Clinton’s tussle has generated public enthusiasm at a fever pitch, generating far more media coverage of the Democratic candidates and leaving the political veteran McCain overshadowed. As voices in the media have frequently reminded us, the prospect of either the first female or first black president is a revolutionary one indeed (especially in contrast to another white Republican man, no matter how distinguished...
