On September 20 of this year, an article published in the New York Times launched the e-mail lists of the Harvard community, particularly those of its female undergraduates, into a flurry of activity. Entitled "Many Women at Elite Colleges Set Career Path to Motherhood," the article asserted that women of the present generation of college students are increasingly opting to curtail their career ambitions in favor of commitment to parenting.

The Harvard Concert Commission has recently announced that Wyclef Jean and the Perceptionists will be performing at Harvard University on November 6. This announcement comes after months of speculation on the inner workings of the secretive and heretofore tight-lipped HCC.

3. That other American football league
Published Thursday, October 20, 2005

Monday Night Football and cheap beer go together like Major League Soccer and, well, nothing. MLS doesn't really go with much of anything. It's isolated in the sporting world and in the real world. On one side, you have the American leagues: American teams playing American sports in a very American, corporate, money-hungry way.

4. MLB Year-End Awards
Published Thursday, October 20, 2005

Baseball, like every sport, constantly defies all prognostication. Within the last five years alone, I have unequivocally believed that Frank Thomas would go down as one of the three greatest right-handed hitters of all time, that the Sox would retire Nomar Garciaparra's number, and that Bernie Williams would not calcify before our very eyes.

6. Pigskin Preview
Published Thursday, October 20, 2005

In our Game of the Week, the Steelers visit the Bengals for an AFC North shootout. A Pittsburgh win would tie the teams in the loss column - the Bengals have a late bye week - while a Cincy win would put them at 6-1 and in terrific shape to win the division.

7. Saying goodbye to the heroes of our youth
Published Thursday, October 20, 2005

On a weekend afternoon in 1992, I saw a professional baseball field for the first time. I remember the vibrant blues of the outfield walls, the startling green of the grass, and the sterling white of the home uniforms, a shade beyond proper description. Even without a full understanding of baseball's intricacies, I knew that that afternoon in the stands was something special.

8. Demanding the impossible: Conservatives on global warming
Published Thursday, October 20, 2005

If last Saturday's vote on Iraq's new constitution turns out to be what most informed observers expected - another purple-thumbed photo-op, full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing in terms of quelling the Sunni-led insurgency - look for war supporters to play their last, best card in defense of the invasion.

9. Rising tempers: tension between Denmark and Canada
Published Thursday, October 20, 2005

As most any observant student will attest, the Science Center lawn is a regular hotbed of political activity. Comprised of groups from the left to the far-left, the scene is carefully orchestrated to persuade visitors and tourists that Harvard students actually care about the world beyond Johnston Gate.

10. Is no news really good news?
Published Thursday, October 20, 2005

Since I've come to Harvard, I've been trapped in a news-free bubble of ignorance and general freedom from the knowledge of the outside world. It's not that I'm hidden away from the news: the Indy and a multitude of lesser publications come to my door. However, many of these papers meet their fate stacked within the white basket that sits outside until someone considers cleaning it out.
