...relief efforts. The end of the matching-funds drive comes exactly one week after a 7.6-magnitude earthquake rocked Kashmir, killing an estimated 20,000 to 40,000 people. But although the earthquake has created a humanitarian crisis that dwarfs even the devastation that Katrina wrought along the Gulf Coast, Harvard has chosen to value lives in Louisiana and Mississippi above those in Pakistan and India. This is not the University’s first attempt to play the role of freelance philanthropist. In September 2001, Harvard pledged $1 million to fund scholarships for the children of terror victims...
...economic diversity here at Harvard. In an assessment of economic diversity, I would initially seem to be a member of the privileged elite that is undoubtedly so over-represented here. After all, I went to a private school, I reside in a nice suburb just outside a major East Coast city, and I do not receive any financial aid from Harvard. I would imagine, then, that most people would be rather surprised by my family’s rather humble background. I, and many others like me, do not attend Harvard on the largess of a trust fund but rather...
Trading the East Coast for the West Coast wasn’t enough to change the fortune of the men’s water polo team. Harvard traveled to California for a four-game set at the Claremont Convergence, and ended its road trip 1-3, making the Crimson’s record now 4-10. More startlingly, Harvard added two more one-goal losses to their total, giving them six on the season. The Crimson lost to Pomona 3-2, and dropped its game against the No. 17 Redlands 5-4.

...Afterparty and the under-attended “Havana on the Harbor” Booze Cruise, both of which were rained out and effectively ruined. Epstein took most of the heat, and although Voith should have shared more of the blame, his recent victory will probably allow him to coast through to the presidential election unharmed. In the end, what could have been a pair of crown jewels for Epstein quickly became political liabilities, potentially damaging her chances for this December’s presidential election.Despite their various weaknesses, Epstein, Gadgil, Haddock, and Voith have emerged as the most likely...
...last week after nominating White House counsel and longtime aide Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court. But this week may offer Bush a chance to show progress on several issues that have plagued his second term. He will spend the first two days of the week in the Gulf Coast, where he'll attend the re-opening of a Mississippi elementary school and Habitat for Humanity building a house in Louisiana, as well as a dinner in New Orleans with local officials. He also has an interview on NBC's Today Show on Tuesday from Louisiana...
