...their families out of military service because they can afford to provide their children with better options, then the war in Iraq starts to look not just ill-advised but downright unjust. Suddenly Bush and his cronies start to look like the pampered pansies, while anti-war liberals can claim to be representing the underclass. Second, liberals want to believe that the people who fight in unjust wars don’t have any other choice. If that’s true, then the troops bear no responsibility for the war in Iraq; it’s all the fault...
...half years after the case was first filed by the paper, the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) ruled unanimously for Harvard, rejecting The Crimson’s claim that since the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) is endowed with “special state police powers”—such as the power to make an arrest and obtain and execute a search warrant—it must provide the same information as public police forces...
...actually finishing a race, never mind winning it, will often produce compelling sport. In the combined downhill in the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, Miller was a nanosecond from disaster when he made what might have been the greatest 60 m.p.h. recovery in the history of skiing to claim a silver medal. He either lands on the podium or on his posterior. (See pictures of Bode Miller on the slopes...

The Smoking Gun found Frey's claim that he engaged in a melee with police officers in 1992 to have been fabricated.

...challenged by the Crimson. See, e.g., Rice v. President & Fellows of Harvard College, 663 F.2d 336, 337-338 (1st Cir.1981), cert. denied, 456 U.S. 928 (1982) (Harvard not a public institution and not sufficiently intertwined with Commonwealth to meet "[S]tate action" requirement for 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim); Krohn v. Harvard Law Sch., 552 F.2d 21, 23 (1st Cir.1977) (same). It follows, therefore, that records in the custody of the HUPD, a department within Harvard University, are not "public records" that fall within the ambit...
