...this particular construction project, it is easy to dismiss my concerns as representative of only a tiny portion of Harvard’s population. The larger issue, though, is the continual blunders on Harvard’s part when it comes to conducting construction. General failure to adequately consult the student body (and even, in many cases, the faculty) and poor and misguided choices for building locations and uses (case in point, the library administration building on Mt. Auburn street) are demonstrative of Harvard’s approach. Not only do these choices show a lack of concern...
...broad and could potentially be abused. According to Casey, the revised version of the Patriot Act that Congress debated in December addressed some of the worries that had been voiced over these measures. The revised legislation, for instance, stipulates an NSL recipient’s explicit right to consult with an attorney. But a bipartisan group of senators argued that the legislation did not adequately respond to civil-liberties concerns, and, threatening a filibuster, they were able to block the renewal of the Patriot Act on Dec. 16.

...White Diamond had very limited theatrical release (which is why I?ve discussed it at this length) but is now available on DVD from Wellspring. And in case you?re wondering, Richard Schickel and I don?t consult each other in compiling our Ten Best lists. That we both chose Herzog documentaries were not conspiracy but coincidence - and, I think, a fitting tribute to a filmmaker of the purest craft, and of his acute understanding that the most thrilling adventures are those that illuminate man?s quest both to tame nature and become one with...
...present a NSL is quite stringent,” Carter said. Edgar said that some of the additions to the Patriot Act legislation being debated now would help safeguard civil liberties, such as the stipulation that a NSL must make explicit a recipient’s right to consult with an attorney. But Edgar said that other changes may actually be detrimental to civil liberties. For instance, under the current act, a person who receives an information request from the FBI is under a lifetime gag order. The new legislation would allow individuals to challenge the secrecy of the requests...
