...funded by the Drug and Alcohol Peer Advisor program. Over 100 students gathered at 9:30 p.m. in the Adams House Courtyard, where they received handheld radios and tuned into 95.3 WHRB-FM, Harvard’s student-run station. Serene classical soon gave way to a lively dance beat, at which point headphone-sporting students cheered and ran down the streets dancing, receiving directions on where to go over their headphones. The dancers got it on everywhere from the John Harvard statue (one student started dancing on the Puritan’s lap) to the steps of the Lampoon...

It is mere seconds before Mistah F.A.B. gleefully answers his own query: “Ghost ride it!” That, in fact, is the title of his song, a modern masterpiece that puts a hip-hop beat over the theme from “Ghostbusters.” Just like Dylan, Mistah F.A.B. is telling the world what we young people are all about: ghost riding, or the art of exiting moving vehicles and dancing beside them—or on top of them—like...

Guevara could care less what you call the policy: "It works for me whatever...

Having taken heat from the Socialists for eliminating "proximity policing," Sarkozy claimed beat cops in the troubled suburbs hadn't been effective. That's when Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, instead of backing his party colleague, thought it opportune to propose "tranquility police" - same thing, different name. Defense Minister Mich?le Alliot-Marie, another Chiraquien, suggested at a UMP conference last week that "we shouldn't treat all youth like they're delinquents." An obvious enough truth, but a claque booed and whistled, seeing it as a hit on Sarkozy's tough...
