...worse, this paranoid box-ticking is an affront to the fact that student groups augment, not corrupt, the Harvard name. Legally the name Harvard belongs to the President and Fellows. But without the faculty, students, and sub-agencies of the College cooperating in the Harvard project, it is hard to imagine that the name would be worth very much at all. We students are among the people who vest value in the Harvard name in the first place. It is an insult to assert that we have no right to its use, and that the very name...
Since Sept. 11, the State Department has issued hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts to security companies like Blackwater to augment its own, internal Diplomatic Security office that protects U.S. diplomats overseas. What was viewed as a short-term need has extended into a six-year investment. When asked if the State Department should reconsider its reliance on such companies to secure U.S. personnel, Rice said not yet. "It's very early to try to do that kind of analysis, I think." In the meantime, the State Department has just announced the formation of a new, joint U.S.-Iraqi...
...funding and support. Dean Gross has been among the pub’s most enthusiastic proponents and planners, while Corker has dedicated his life to Loker for nearly three years.

After all, the idea of a pub to revitalize Loker was first proposed a decade ago, but it took this motley crew of University Hall denizens...
...feel overly shaped or artificial, which is important as the film strives to foster empathy for Ryan. The scenes are crisp and move quickly so as to reinforce the humorous nature of the script. Transitions between scenes take the form of artful photo essays and clever images that augment the comedic nature of the story. Such small touches make the film engaging, and more importantly, distinguish it from other soul-searching films in the genre. Rivaling Fox’s direction for praise is the acting by Paulo Costanzo and Steph Song. Playing main character Ryan and his love interest...
...help Ivy Leaguers win - Pete Carril, who devised the offense, won 13 Ivy titles during his 29-year tenure (including 1996, when I was on the team), and Thompson clinched three more as Princeton coach from 2000 to '04 - imagine if the most talented players in the country could augment backdoor passes with individual skills. A trip to the Final Four perhaps? Georgetown's offense has clicked, with Thompson expertly mixing finesse with freedom. For example, before Green's game winner against Vandy, Thompson gave the NBA-bound Big East MVP spare instructions: Quickly look for Patrick Ewing...
