Unfortunately, this free time comes straight out of summer vacation. At a March 1 meeting with students in Currier House, Gross proposed starting classes before Labor Day to make room for the J-term. This would make Harvard summers the briefest in the country, disrupting internships, travel or summer work—all simply to make room for the same kinds of internships, travel or work during January, when fewer are available to college students.

So I do. She disappears down the field to attack the goal, something she does regularly for the New York Power of the WUSA, the women's professional soccer league, and the U.S. women's national team...
