While we have made strides in improving the socio-economic, racial, and geographic diversity of Harvard’s undergraduates, the decision to end the transfer program is a fatal blow to students who, for any variety of reasons, have made different educational decisions, such as attending community college or enrolling in a two-year program like Deep Springs College.

A joke involving communion and oral sex shares a platform with the calculation that al-Qaeda would have to blow up 580 planes a year to compete with the tobacco industry for casualties. This month, an audio version of the show, which has shocked Christian conservatives and delighted fans from Edinburgh to Lahore, was launched on iTunes. E-audiences might miss the comedian's crown of thorns and Gitmo-orange jumpsuit, but that's not dire, as the show, he says...
