...perennial issue of grade inflation is making news again with Princeton’s recent progress report on its controversial decision to set a targeted cap of 35 percent on A-range grades. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a majority of students seem opposed to the policy both at Princeton and at Harvard, which has seen its own share of media controversy surrounding grading and honors. While Princeton’s policy is not the ideal solution to the problem of grade inflation, its critics are also off the mark in their complaints. A sweeping revision of Harvard’s grading system...
...other cafeterias isn’t good either. The difference, in fact, is that the line for Fly-By moves at the speed of the slowest, shortest girl spooning meat lasagna into her stupid plasticized white cup (plus the 30 seconds it takes for her to wrench the cap onto said cup), whereas all other cafeterias move at the speed it takes...

We hope this model is just a prototype, and we are contemplating...
Finally, we regretfully must comment on the woeful showing of one Fidelity Investments. The company’s pen is a standard Bic, with the only customization being a green cap and Fidelity’s name and logo on the side. Fidelity, if you want to recruit us, don’t give us the kind of pen we steal from Holiday Inn. You’re an investment firm. How good can you being at making money when your pen is a cheap piece of crapsmanship? You’ll face our wrath for eternity. (Unless you give...
