...hard to be an effective Reader Representative for The Crimson when I am barely a Crimson reader. I decided to take this job because during my first two years at Harvard I read The Crimson almost every day and developed strong feelings about many aspects of the paper. I was excited by the idea of finding out about what other people thought about the paper and trying to work with Crimson executives to affect change...
Although the Web site is certainly a positive step, it has not solved the circulation problems. In fact, one of my roommates contacts the site almost every day, and yet we still do not receive the paper. Kim says the Quad represents a particular challenge for distribution. "The way the streets of Cambridge run, the logical distribution route gets to the Quad last.

It's like a wrestling match with the walls erased, and the rules unknown - you'd better watch your seat, because you might be sitting inside...

Students have come to expect The Crimson at their doors every morning, and many of us rely on it to find out what is going on around campus. Student groups use it to advertise, expecting that all undergraduates will receive the paper...
...change. The transformation of "Ice Candy Man" is the most dramatic, as he goes from being the reasonable peacemaker among the group to the most extreme example of religious hatred. Shanta falls in love with Hasan, much to the chagrin of the "Ice Candy Man", but their relationship appears almost inconsequential after the figurative and literal arrival of genocide in the form of a train filled with the bodies of Muslim men and children, along with gunnysacks filled with the severed breasts of Muslim women...
