Before male feminists were groovy, Richard Graham, onetime deputy to Peace Corps director Sargent Shriver and founding member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, waged an uphill battle for women's equality. In Washington, where members of Congress joked about sex discrimination and the eeoc ignored it, the ex-Air Force engineer insisted women should be hired for hard labor posts and mothers were "the most stable workers in the labor market." Graham later helped found the National Organization for Women...

After the graduation of Ryan Fitzpatrick ‘05, O’Hagan took over the No. 1 spot in the first half of the season opener (remember Richard Irvin?), with Pizzotti stuck on the sidelines in jeans with a back injury. O’Hagan improved steadily throughout that sophomore campaign, leading the Crimson to a 7-3 record and a four-game season-ending win streak, including the unforgettable triple-OT win at Yale...
