Another instance of alleged hazing reported by the NY Post. This time an athletic team at Harvard. As my film HAZING points out, hazing often occurs outside of Greek Life. There is a huge culture of hazing on sports teams. Hockey teams notoriously haze freshman or rookie players.

I watched this powerful 1983 interview with Marvin Gaye last night. Just stumbled across it. In light of Stepen "tWitch" Boss' death by suicide, Gaye's honesty about his depression and suicide was particularly timely, and chilling.

Happy birthday to our father, Jackie Hurt. I'm grateful to have had a father so committed to his children and family. He was a highly intelligent, eloquent man, filled with great knowledge, wisdom, and insight. I miss having conversations with him. RIP Jackie Hurt!
