Accepting this conscious framework of Ivy ethics, it is hard to understand the FCAS's apparent disinterest in encouraging other schools to adopt a similar position. During its four year abstention from tournament play, Harvard has made absolutely no attempt to convince other eastern schools that its NCAA stand is a valid one--worthy of their consideration...

Updike readers will find it a bit of a jolt. One is used to seeing Updike detail the perfectly ordinary life; the marriage that never should have been, or, again and again, minutiae of his boyhood in rural Pennsylvania...
