Everybody—students,professors and other faculty alike??came here with some notion of being a pioneer, part of a group of people who would rightly capture the media attention for our various endeavors. But the media should not reward us if those endeavors don’t truly turn out to be newsworthy. There’s a media assumption out there: That this is Harvard’s world, and everybody else is just living in it. In reality, I’m sure there’s more news out there. It?...
...create, division within the student body and mislead incoming students about the nature of the broader community. They falsely assume that minority students will feel comfortable only in their ethnic communities. Ultimately, we hope that all of Harvard’s prefrosh—both minorities and non-minorities alike??feel personally welcomed into the Harvard community.

The feast, taking place from noon to 3 p.m., will feature traditional Thanksgiving fare, vegetarian...
...than the particularly Western notion of faith’s interaction with reason. Yesterday, Congressional Quarterly’s Jeff Stein published an excellent piece in The New York Times relating his troubling experience asking every government employee he could—FBI agents, congressmen, and State Department employees alike??if they understood the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite. The results are dismaying, if predictable—few of the officials who should know the differences actually do. If we had our druthers, every Harvard graduate and civil servant would have understood immediately the importance...
