...better life’ means ‘she couldn’t afford an abortion.’”Although Harvard’s TBTN is now more well-coordinated and on-theme, it’s hard not to sense an undying orthodoxy lying beneath the surface.Ever since it was first held in the 1980s, the Harvard event has treated sexual violence not as the provenance of a few depraved criminals. Instead, as TBTN’s organizers put it in a Crimson op-ed last week, “We spend 51 weeks...
...acquitted in 1997, Olmert gained a reputation for cynicism. As Jerusalem mayor, he initiated improvements such as a light-rail system but ran up huge deficits and bequeathed the city a legacy of half-finished development projects.

Instead, they sound indentured to the wildly mannerist melodramatics of Mariah Carey and Michael Bolton. ("Just sing the damned song," my friend George Grizzard has been...
...Andreas stands out as a linear gash in the earth's surface that is easy to spot. On the ground, however, it is often hard to read, particularly north and south of San Francisco where it strays offshore, runs through dense redwood forests and even disappears beneath houses and streets. In many populated areas, it's impossible to tell just where the active strands of the fault lie because so many features have been filled in or bulldozed away...
