...Artist As someone who supports legitimate artists and is a collector of original art - albeit on a modest level - I am offended how British "Bad Boy" artist, Damien Hirst [Sept. 15] is dominating the art world. He is merely another charlatan who found a gimmick and capitalized on it, suckering in those wannabes who are more interested in bragging rights than promoting a fresh, honest talent in the art world or insightful, subversive ideas in the public arena. Dead animals preserved in formaldehyde and a diamond encrusted skull - is this even legal? Spin paintings done by studio assistants - give...
...bashfully exited to sketchy Garden Street and its normal group of ruffians. Alas, the final memo I didn’t receive concerned callbacks. Apparently, they were posted Friday night and the callbacks themselves were held Saturday afternoon. My bad. When I did look at the list, albeit tardily, I had, in fact, been called back. Unfortunately, I had missed the second round of auditions for a trip to, you guessed it, New York. My bad. Producers of Ivory Tower, I apologize. But I know you need me. Call me.

...other freshmen makes this experience slightly less cringe-worthy, since the dash home stays within the comforting confines of the Yard.

In fact, run-ins like this have unquestionably been happening at Harvard since 1636, when the first hobbledehoy freshmen putzed around the Yard, chewing on hardtack and trying to make friends with the other budding clergymen. And they’re still happening, (albeit with a deepened knowledge of technology). This year, as Hunter Bennett concentrates on eating his third piece of fried dough and saving the pin number of another BBM friend, he orates with our observed inconsistency about the joys of the first week at Harvard; “Well, I mean...
...Shelby is likely to oppose the plan, but much of its scrutiny on Capitol Hill is, in fact, Congress doing what Congress does, albeit on a massive, once-in-a-lifetime scale. On any given day on the Hill well-heeled lobbyists graft slivers of language onto obscure bills, language that ends up being worth huge amounts to their clients. This week the U.S. financial system is going to be reordered on a scale unseen since F.D.R., and everyone has an interest in that, sometimes to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. In the massive bazaar of legislative...
