...lead after a 53-yard punt return by wide receiver Brian Edwards ’05 and a 100-yard interception return by safety Ricky Williamson ’05. Yale would chip in a field goal late in the first half to avert a shutout, but a vicious Crimson defense and almost 200 yards of total offense from Fitzpatrick brought the fans over the (surprisingly high!) walls of the stadium and onto the field to celebrate a 35-3 blowout and the greatest season in modern Harvard history. Could the Class of 2008 outdo itself in its sophomore season...
...Nixon led the Republican campaign forces in a rousing and sometimes vicious spirit. This year, when the party is in an even worse way, the heir-apparent will probably be expected to pitch in just as actively.

Like the Horace Mann case, featuring vicious Facebook groups aimed at high school teachers, Venkatesan’s move to a lawsuit and book deal represent a failure of reconciliation within the classroom. Student-teacher arguments are nothing new, of course, but these escalated clashes still suggest a lack of mutual respect and an inability to resolve disagreements amicably...
...Araujo, who was a hostage for six years before escaping in 2006. "They're convinced they have the right to violently terrorize others." But the same is often said of his country's military, long accused of killing innocent rural civilians and fostering right-wing, cocaine-trafficking paramilitary armies, vicious groups the government has only recently begun to dismantle. As a result, some in the U.S. Congress are balking at a free-trade pact with Colombia...
