...empowering institution, Harvard College can easily be perceived as an increasingly limiting institution. Whether it is landing the highest paying jobs, gravitating towards the most impressively stressful course load or competing for the most visible poster space on the Science Center kiosks, our actions reflect a gradual homogenization...
...Indeed, the events two weekends ago, specifically Stand Up, the Dance Marathon and One Night STAND, were certainly overwhelming in their publicity. Posters were strung throughout the Yard, and there was much, arguably obnoxious, hawking outside of the Science Center. Ultimately, for event organizers, it comes down to making sure everyone knows about your event, perhaps even more so than the charity itself. When purchasing tickets for these dances, was it the music or the cause that drew in the most students? Indeed, event organizers admit that the social half of ‘social responsibility’ takes...
...Terrorist attacks in India have increased in scale and frequency over the past decade. This year alone, the country's biggest cities - including New Delhi, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Jaipur, among others - have suffered bomb blasts that have killed hundreds of people. Mumbai, the country's financial center, was attacked in a series of bombing in 1993 that killed 257 people, and again in the 2006 train bombings that killed 184.

South Africa's Sunday Times said 400 new cholera cases were arriving at a treatment center in the township of Budiriro every day. Aid groups on the ground - UNICEF, Medecins Sans Frontieres, German Agro Action and the WHO have between them set up 36 treatment centers - are working on a scenario of 10,000 deaths and 60,000 infected by next March. The outbreak began...
...Arab Middle East, yoga is pretty much still the domain of yuppies. During a stint studying ashtanga in Cairo, my classmates were either expatriates or Egyptians who had returned from the West. In Beirut, the city's largest yoga center occupied a gorgeous old building in the Christian quarter, and drew a sophisticated mix of Christians and Muslims alike. The Lebanese, however, tend to prefer gym yoga. Attending a yoga class at one of the city's many posh fitness centers means that ministers can chat on their yoga mats, and pop stars can show off their headstands, a convenient...
