...this electronic explosion, The Crimson needs to rigorously reexamine its policies to come up with a consistent, robust code of e-reporting guidelines. At present, glaring inconsistencies remain. For example, The Crimson's own Editorials Board refuses, on principle, to publish any e-mail letter without first confirming the content of the letter with the writer. Why should the News department allow itself to by any more lax? Granade allows, "Our standards must evolve in this area."

What is it that makes Hamer who he is? What, for that matter, accounts for the quirks and foibles, talents and traits that make up anyone's personality?

Brill is aiming for a circulation of 450,000 to 600,000 at the end of five years--an optimistic goal considering that the Columbia Journalism Review's paid circulation is only 26,000.
