...Bravo, TIME, for the year-end wrap-up and Person of the Year selection. Putin has so far served his country well, but he reminds me of the classic Western movie sheriff who is brought in to clean up a town and then becomes a bigger bad guy than the bad guys he was asked to eliminate. Putin was weaned by the KGB, and I anticipate the worst from him. His very expression is off-putting. I'm 80 years old, not a profane person and quite benign in my declining years.

Schweitzer points out that his administration was able to pass a renewable energy portfolio standard, mandating that 15% of the state's power come from alternative sources by 2015. That's exactly...
...Excellent music choices and clean and well-rehearsed footwork made the numbers by TAPS consistently entertaining. An easy-to-watch, smiling stage presence clearly conveyed how much fun the dancers were having. They set a lively tone for the evening with their company number, which Megan M. Powell ’08 choreographed to Lily Allen’s “Knock ‘Em Out.” The dancers executed the choreography with enthusiasm and exhilarating precision, an impressive feat for a company piece...
