Twice, with Alacrity SPORTS Framingham, Massachusetts, Baskind was so outstanding in both soccer and lacrosse that the Boston Globe named her its second- ary-school female athlete of 2008. Twice, with Alacrity Baskind likes multiple sports partly be- cause she appreciates having “that many more days of competition.” She does not see the two-sport path as a disadvan- Lacrosse and soccer star Melanie Baskind scores with synergy. tage: “I never want to hear someone say, ‘She had a bad soccer season because she played lacrosse,’ or vice versa,” she says; instead, she finds a synergy between the two. “My soccer coach [Ray Leone] tells me that he likes seeing me play defense in lacrosse, and wants me to bring some of that to soccer,” she notes. “And in lacrosse, our coach [Lisa Miller] is always making side remarks to me like, ‘I’m sure this is the same in soccer.’ ” Switching to a different kind of ball also means “You don’t get bored with the sport,” Baskind explains. “Mentally, it gives you an edge because you’re so ex- cited to return after playing something else. Physically, it’s healthy because you are building certain muscle groups and giving other ones a rest. That’s made me a better player. Lots of things transfer from one sport to the other—three-on-two situations, transition opportunities, and just understanding the positional aspects of the game: the way you use peripheral vi- sion, how you see the field, is transferable knowledge.” There may be a nascent drift at Har- vard toward two-letter women. Four of Baskind’s lacrosse teammates also play field hockey, and a soccer cohort swims for the water-polo squad. Ivy League rules, which limit practices and off- season play days, make dual citizenship more manageable. “More people are do- elanie baskind ’12 stands Triple image of a double threat: ing it recently,” Baskind says.

  • Is There an Obama Doctrine?
    Is there an Obama Doctrine? Analyzing Jeffrey Goldberg’s “The Obama Doctrine” by key strategic areas Anthony H. Cordesman March 10, 2016 An article in today's New York Times flags a Presidential interview in the Atlantic in ways that are certain to draw global attention, particularly in the countries whose leaders are criticized, the Middle East, Russia, China, and Asia. The Times article and headline seem almost designed to provoke an international reaction. The article states that President Obama singled out Saudi Arabia as an ally that failed to support the United States. The text also states that he felt that Britain and France had failed to support the United States in its campaign against Qaddafi in Libya and that the Ukraine was a natural Russian sphere of influence. It implies that the President sees our allies as a key reason for the inability of the United States to have a decisive impact on current crises. It is important to note that Jeffrey Goldberg’s actual article is more nuanced and balanced than the Times report suggests. His article offers a fascinating set of quotes, mixed with commentary and criticism—although it still does so in ways that are likely to be a source of serious tension with our allies. Goldberg introduces his article rather bluntly, and keeps up these themes throughout text. He starts by referring to the decision to not launch cruises missiles against Syria as follows: Friday, August 30, 2013, the day the feckless Barack Obama brought to a premature end America’s reign as the world’s sole indispensable superpower—or, alternatively, the day the sagacious Barack Obama peered into the Middle Eastern abyss and stepped back from the consuming void—began with a thundering speech given on Obama’s behalf by his secretary of state, John Kerry, in Washington, D.C.

  • Me Many Lessons— Some Relevant to Survival, Others Not So Much— but One That I Have Come to Fully Understand Is That There A
    1 SEVENTEEN YEARS OF EXISTENCE HAVE TAUGHT me many lessons—­some relevant to survival, others not so much—­but one that I have come to fully understand is that there are three kinds of idiocy. The first is what I call Mundane Idiocy. This is the type of idiocy that happens when you, say, walk into a dark room thinking you can manage without the lights, and then you stub your toe on a table. It happens to the best of us. The second kind is Voluntary Idiocy. Sticking your tongue to a frozen pole or prodding a beehive with a stick or eating fourteen brownies in one sitting would fall under this category. Discretion is advised. And finally, the last level of idiocy has been achieved by only one person, and his name is Cody Kinski. OutofLeftField_INTs.indd 1 12/8/17 3:08 PM KRIS HUI LEE Here I am, in the bleachers of my high school baseball field on a brisk May night—­crickets chirping in the darkness beyond the bright stadium lights, the smell of french fries hitching a ride on the gentle breeze. I'm on the tips of my toes, waiting in anticipation like all my fellow game goers. Usually the excitement at high school baseball games never gets higher than the occasional collective gasp after a great hit followed by an anticlimactic defensive play, but our team is far from what you’d call usual. And this particular game is miles from being typical. It’s the bottom of the seventh. The last inning.
