...terms of action or behavior on the part of the drinker, as Wechsler advocates, because the students who are adversely affected by drunkards perceive the extent of the harm in different ways. For example, a student who has never encountered drinking before may be more appalled at having to clean up after his roommate than a student who looked after her siblings when they drank during high school. Since students come from different backgrounds, it is logical that there exists a gap in student's perceptions of the degree to which thinking creates problems, even when they are personally involved...

Kaufman suggests that Cambridge residents want to live here mainly because Harvard has made it a "clean, safe and vibrant neighborhood" and asks if anyone would protest for affordable housing in New Haven. But while this is arguably true of Harvard Square and its surroundings, it is by no means true of all the 700 units that Harvard owns. Is Kaufman suggesting that people would rather not be able to live in a home at all than live in someplace less "vibrant" than Harvard Square?

...about her will wonder how anyone could be so cruel and inhuman. The answer is simple: drug abuse and lack of personal responsibility. That child should have been taken permanently from her mother at birth, when it was clear that Lopez was unfit to care for Elisa. Until we clean the streets of drugs and hold people responsible for their actions, these pathetic tales will continue to be told.

...heroin and methadone addict for eight years, but I was smart enough not to have children back then. I figured that if I couldn't help myself, I had no right to bring a child into the world to include in my suffering. I'm 13 years clean. When I saw Elisa's face on your cover, I was horrified. I am taking a special lunch hour today. I will pick up my son at school and take him out for his favorite lunch and hold him. NAME WITHHELD ON REQUEST Chicago...
