...larger snapshot is equally revealing. Since 1928, the Standard & Poor's 500, a broad market gauge, has risen 5% or more in the three months preceding a presidential election on six occasions: 1928, 1936, 1940, 1968, 1972, 1980.

Because sometimes at 3:50 p.m. (the time around which an actual student was attacked outside of Lamont this week) there are certain areas, especially right outside of Lamont, where, although the sun is bright and it is broad daylight everywhere else, an eclipse has occurred and there is no light. Also, since I normally seek out dark alleys (it is a part of trying to be aware of my surroundings, I should say) to walk through, this is particularly helpful...
