9/11 10th Anniversary Issue


The strategy for beating the Big Green seems simple: don't foul Ashley Taylor. Yet teams cannot keep but sending her to the line, and Taylor has made them pay. The 5-foot-11 forward tied a school record by making 16 free throws, including 12 in the final two minutes against Yale, to lead Dartmouth to an eight-point win last Friday.

The artistic morsels at Gayle fuse exotic tastes with a playful sense of humor. Throughout the experience, chef Daniel Stern takes great pains to make the meal memorable. Tucked away just off of South Street, Gayle offers quality homemade cuisine that will stir the Oliver Twist question within: "Please miss, may I have some more?" After arriving at the restaurant my guest and I were shown to one of the two window tables.

Just because Ibrahim Jaaber doesn't flirt with double-digit steals in a weekend, it doesn't mean that he's not making the opposing offense skittish. The Ivy League's all-time leader in thefts has made a name for himself by taking the rock away from his counterparts - particularly those within the conference.

While Italian restaurants are seemingly a dime a dozen, Il Portico quietly makes a statement with its classic dishes. The restaurant has a perfect balance of Italian staples - olive oil, cheese, bread, herbs, dim lighting and love songs - that blend together to create an excellent dining experience.

Don't be put off by the seemingly French name - Le Castagne offers Old World Italian with a modern and almost distinctly Philadelphian taste. Located on an otherwise-quiet block at 19th and Chestnut streets - castagne means chestnut in Italian - the restaurant greets you with pleasant lighting and a friendly seating hostess.


Remember When: Speaking out for affirmative action

PENN On Feb. 19, 2003, the University and Penn Law School Dean Michael Fitts signed individual "friend of the court" briefs to submit to the U.S. Supreme Court in favor of the University of Michigan's affirmative action admissions policy. The policy, challenged in the Supreme Court at the time, established race as a factor in admissions.

The Undergraduate Assembly spent Sunday night gearing up for next week's annual budget meeting.

At Penn, the adage "only the good die young" was never more true than when Tony Luke's closed last August at 3716 Spruce Street. After one ephemeral, whiz-soused year, the cheesesteak-and-sandwich joint was scraped from the plates of Quad freshman because of low sales, particularly in Penn Dining Dollars.

M. Hoops Ivy Notebook: Loss to Penn puts Cornell's hopes on life support

Entering the weekend with Cornell, Yale and Penn within a half-game in the Ivy League standings, three was a crowd for the Quakers. But Penn dealt a major blow to Cornell's championship hopes, and the Ivy title hunt will likely be a two-horse race. The good news for the Big Red is that they still get to face Yale this Friday, and a win would pull them into a tie for second.


When cutting out a heart saves a life

Gary Onufer is flat-lining, and he's never been happier. Last Monday, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania made the 46-year-old former fitness instructor the first person in the Northeastern United States to receive a Total Artificial Heart, a cutting-edge "Bridge to Transplant" technology that will keep him alive until he finally gets a heart - and a heartbeat - of his own.


The best stories aren't all fiction

Mark Bowden is a living example of how you don't have to write fiction to create a great story. Bowden, author of the bestselling book Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War, visited the Kelly Writers House yesterday afternoon.

Normally, I'm one of the first people to criticize the Ivy League for something, be it the postseason football ban or the scheduling across some sports.
