...that mean that the union will be a better representative of Harvard's workers? I'm not convinced and am especially concerned because, even at the present stage of the unionizing campaign, organizers openly state that they are more concerned with the power of the union than with the actual issues that are at stake...
...only to find that her mother cannot "see" her. That is, not only is the mother unable to envision the ghost of her daughter's future self but, for all her maternal devotion, she is so caught up in minutiae that she fails to pay meaningful attention to the actual girl who stands yearning for it.

Some survivors claimed to have overheard members of the crew say there were more...
...campaign deals only with actual stories. A second commercial will show broadcast reports of a presidential candidate's withdrawal, newspaper headlines about church scandals, and shots of reporters mobbing the latest figure in a Wall Street insider-trading scheme. These disparate events were connected and given perspective earlier this year in a TIME cover story, "What Ever Happened to Ethics." A third spot will show how TIME went beyond the headlines of the Wall Street crash to examine America's leadership crisis...
