Upon glancing at your front page on Nov. 3 and seeing the headline “Police to Up Quad Patrol” (news), I was filled with relief. The previous evening, a Harvard undergraduate had been mugged, beaten up, and robbed at gunpoint on the corner of Shepard and Garden streets, right outside the Quad. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly Harvard and Cambridge’s community leaders had responded. How mistaken I was. Upon reading the article more carefully, I quickly realized that the increased police patrols in the quad were not in fact intended...
...every time it beats both Harvard and Yale in one season, and will have its first bonfire in a decade this Thursday. Last year, Yale beat Princeton but lost to Harvard. “I think Yale doesn’t want to come because we’ve beaten their football team for the past five years,” said Campus Life Fellow John T. Drake ’06.

The consumer-electronics division was back in the black. And the movie studio was riding high, led by The Da Vinci Code. Meanwhile, investors had sent...
...Earlier this week, Qanbar made contact with an intermediary trusted by the kidnappers. In a secret location in Baghdad, the mediator met with members of the group who showed him a grainy video on a cell phone screen of a man they claimed was al-Taie, beaten up and bloody. Then the gang demanded $250,000 from the soldier's family to secure his release. Something didn't seem right, says Qanbar. "The number is too low for a U.S. soldier," he told TIME. It made him wonder if his nephew was even alive...
