Fans Refine the Art of Rooting
The story highlights efforts by English major Carl Adair '07 to rouse
fans during Rochester football games by reading selections from classic
texts. The article also quotes defensive lineman Pat Gallagher '07 and
George VanderZwaag, director of athletics and recreation. "In sports
there's this rhetoric of violence toward the other team," says
Adair. "But nobody says it better than Homer when he's talking
about the wrath of Achilles, mowing down these Trojans."

May Lower Babies' Diabetes Risk
Professor of Pediatrics Ruth Lawrence, who helped write guidelines about
breastfeeding for the American Academy of Pediatrics, says published
studies may actually underestimate breastfeeding’s impact on childhood
and adult obesity. “Babies who are exclusively breastfed seem
to have a big advantage,” she says. “There is not one single
study suggesting that formula is better than breast milk.”
