...Throughout the discussions of a possible U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, I have seen hardly any consideration of how it might affect the U.S.'s major ally in the region: Israel. The past three years have made it clearer than ever that Israel is a bastion of freedom in the area, in good part because of the much appreciated support from the U.S. But it would be irresponsible for the U.S. to plan its withdrawal from Iraq without weighing the effect on a genuine friend whose very existence is contested daily.

During moments of lucidity, I tried to discipline my mind by doing simple arithmetic. I would repeat to myself, ''Two and two makes four, four and four equals eight, eight and eight equals 16 . . .

...BlackBerry can wreak such havoc upon the lives of businessmen that it is nicknamed after a deadly street drug, how will it affect impressionable undergraduates? It certainly won’t damage our sex lives as much as weekend, take-home exams already do. Nor is it liable to induce ADD in a generation already accustomed to simultaneously writing papers and posts to instant messenger. The main danger of the PDA’s campus invasion is the potential for it to become a must-have luxury item amongst students, proving yet again how unbearably wonkish and overly serious Harvard?...
