Either way, hidden in the title is a good recommendation for Harvardians: if we can learn to live like everyone else, then when the inevitable class revolution comes, we can simply dress up like them, too, and the proletariat will have to be content with smashing Yale and Princeton instead. Play Money, or, How I Quit My Day Job and Struck It Rich in Virtual Loot Farming by Julian Dibbell While hardcore gamers might view gaming as a “night job” akin to prostitution, slam poetry, or overseas military contracting...

Some critics point out that Bhutto, who was awaiting a ruling on the constitutionality of an amnesty bill that would have absolved her from longstanding corruption charges, would have been perfectly content with Musharraf's more docile Supreme Court 2.0. But the people of Pakistan have grown to love their independent judiciary. Protests against Musharraf's emergency rule have been dominated by the country's black-suited lawyers, who have garnered immense respect for their tireless campaign for rule of law and a civilian President.
