...Harvard has every reason to believe the title is within its grasp, as the squad boasts a potent balance of seasoned veterans and talented rookies.

This strategic shift would only ignite another culture war, one perhaps just as divisive, fueled by the Oedipal resentment of pseudo-bohemian youth against their suburbanite parents. Given the choice, I’d choose the Confederate flag and NASCAR...
