...Bravo, TIME, for the year-end wrap-up and Person of the Year selection. Putin has so far served his country well, but he reminds me of one of those classic western movie sheriffs who is brought in to clean up a town and then becomes a bigger bad guy than the bad guys he was asked to eliminate.

Back then, you could at least see the fresh faces of young American soldiers, even if their eyes were obscured by wrap-around Oakleys.

Just don't tilt your head; suddenly everything gets blurry...

The talent and experience of the team’s youngest players has inspired the Red Line to adopt a more rigorous training regimen at a time when competition across the country is intensifying. Harvard’s fall Frisbee season will wrap up in two weeks at the Brown tournament. The team will pick up training again with a volunteer coach in January. The more competitive spring season will begin in February, when the Red Line will travel to Las Vegas to participate in the country’s largest ultimate Frisbee...
