...campaign was a quintessential Harvard experience. So many Harvard students find their purpose in the clubs that sprout up every year on our campus or in the life aspirations that they formed long before they got to Cambridge. So many think of themselves as activists (or premeds or future businessmen) before they think of themselves as students. College life—everything from late night discussions with roommates to pissing on John Harvard’s foot—can seem like a distraction.

...country's richest men. The government alleges that Tan owes about $460 million in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties. (A spokesman at Tan's Fortune Tobacco didn't return TIME's phone calls seeking comment but his lawyers have consistently denied the charges.) More investigations seem likely. "Businessmen must adopt an attitude of tax acceptance, not tax avoidance," President Arroyo recently lectured. "They must stop trying to outrun the tax collector...
