...charge anyway because Conrad can't be bothered with it. (As if he wouldn't know about nannies.) Later, in a typically absurd scene, Conrad reclaims custody by personally kidnapping the child in the middle of the night. Eisner means for the story to have an archetypal, fairy tale aspect, hammered home by the written-out "fairy tale" version of the story at the end. But fairy tales are not novels.

In their opinion piece, Bayh and McCain chastise universities for using federal work study to pay students in low-skilled jobs, the equivalent of using work study to subsidize universities. While there is no evidence of this type of abuse at Harvard, we hope that students participating in work study will be able to take jobs that benefit the communities they live...
