...again unstoppable, pretending that our Harvard ID and driver's license would work as a press pass. While one intrepid UPN reporter said he had a "chat session" inside and attempted to push by us, we prevailed and stormed the Gore party as official student press--but to no avail. We were barricaded in pen built for large sows and forced to watch the revelers behind the wall. After about 10 seconds of looking at Gore's chiseled chin, we chatted with the drug-sniffing dog, proffered our handbags filled with AK-47s to the secret service and left. Only...
...less than 50 percent. Each year the council wonders how to increase the tie between the undergraduates the governing body that "represents" them. Perhaps a regular corner in The Crimson?

"The Taliban occasionally plays nice, but only in order to get the West off their backs," says Calabresi. "The feeling in Washington is now to wallop them if Bin Laden strikes again, because playing nice hasn't helped...
...years younger than myself, readily treated me like a grown up. I tried to inform them of their gross mistake. I purposefully dressed more casually. I sat on the floor Indian-style. I even sang horrible Backstreet Boys songs to show I was hip. All this posturing to no avail. The kids were convinced. At first I chalked it up to their own over-eagerness. As the dust settled, however, I realized that I was the one who was mistaken. In fact, every Harvard student who still believes that they are the same fun-loving slacker they were in high...
