For the past four years, perhaps ever since my brother’s graduation day, Doe Library has been my favorite building, despite a year passing since I last actually set foot in Doe and other Berkeley places I have come to love.

A new story: Be more like James

Yes, like Serena Williams
The countless incidents span time and scope. Williams’ hair, body, attitude and even her skill and excellence have been scrutinized and questioned as her appearance is strikingly different from the blonde white women who have long dominated the sport.

A Patriot Way: Belichick refuses medal but brings honor to franchise
