...Technology is making it no longer possible for people to lie so easily. It is making usury okay unless the Congress says otherwise. Technology is interfering with job security in ways we could never have imagined. In the meantime, the moral codes for technology use are increasingly out of date...
...There are principles at stake here that seem too basic to repeat. Every student should feel welcome at Harvard. Every student should feel supported in pursuing something she believes in.

...result, Congress is looking into solutions like health-care-coverage premium subsidies for lower-income Americans.

One of the most common phrases uttered by members about her is: "Nancy Pelosi probably knows more than the members themselves about X" - with X including everything from the names and ages of each member's grandkids to the demographics of their districts to the nuances of the latest global-warming bill. But Pelosi's current problems can be traced back to two ways in which she either failed to prepare or failed to let her homework speak for itself. (See pictures of Pelosi over the course...
