Water isn’t flowing as freely as it used to, at least not in student showers. Over the summer, Harvard Yard Operations introduced low flow showerheads, which use only 1.6 gallons of water per minute instead of 2.5, into several of the Houses and freshman dorms. Leverett, Mather, and Dunster received the new heads over the summer, and the showerheads are currently being installed in other Houses and the freshman dorms. All told, it is expected that the new showerheads will save close to 2.5 million gallons of water and $40,000 per year, which is clearly...

The Harvard secondary held the Tigers to only 10 completions and 84 passing yards, and limited top receiver Brendan Circle to two catches for 31 yards. Last year, Circle burned the Crimson for 114 yards. Senior cornerback Steven Williams grabbed two interceptions, leaving...

...deal. Let them see the top three prisoners and they would shut off all attacks against U.S. forces in Haswsah, they said.

It was a vast departure from the old "we don't deal with terrorists" line of the Bush Administration and early commanders of the U.S. occupation, but quite in keeping with the spirit of a new counterinsurgency strategy taking shape across Iraq that has not only reached out to insurgents...
After the cross-yard engagement, in which the JAM emissaries shouted emotional greetings to the captives that seemed to U.S. officials like veiled attempts to assure the leaders that their capture was not an inside job, the delegation left the U.S. base, obligated by their promise to end the attacks. Even more incredibly, the men left with a promise that there would be a pro-American rally in the town at precisely 10 a.m. the next day, sponsored by none other than the American's main enemy in the region, the Jaish al Mahdi...
