...ineffectual, human trafficking persists and natural disasters upend tens of thousands, it is so inspiring to read about "normal" people performing huge personal acts of generosity, sacrifice and brotherhood.

The highlight of the Bulldogs’ season thus far is the adventurous illegal kick by the punter, who was bailed out when a Quakers player illegally kicked the loose football, giving Yale the opportunity to re-kick. The play occurred early in the second quarter, when the Bulldogs already trailed 21-0 and had recorded four-consecutive three-and-outs to start the game.Despite all of this, Yale will still win by more than seven...
