Although the toughest competition is yet to come, I think that our team will continue to impress and play as well, if not better, than it has in the last few weeks. This team has been through adversity and it has withstood the growing pains of a young roster. The Crimson is for real, and is ready to prove the preseason pollsters and pundits wrong...
...among the world's most heavily armed and proficient. Arafat's scruffy troops have neither tanks, artillery nor aircraft. But if it wasn't quite war last week, it was nevertheless a fierce mess. The exhaustive, seven-year effort to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through negotiation has withstood great tests, but none as scorching as this. While regional leaders agreed to a summit this week in Egypt, their ambitions were contained by the need to squelch the bloodletting.

Harvard's network has so far withstood the onslaught, and so long as the bandwidth consumed does not interfere with academic use of the network, access to Napster ought to be maintained.

It seemed that the basis of the program was to read Time Inc. publications with our tutee. This...
...would have been a way for the council both to gather student input and to convey legitimately that input to administrators. But this admirable project, which would have done much to restore much of the council's credibility, was met with stubborn resistance by council conservatives. Although the project withstood a funding challenge, these council members--led by those who voted earlier to remove Burton--managed to seriously curtail the project's visibility. Now, the council expected to collect less than half of the original 500 surveys--a sample size that may not have much statistical significance. This...
