Another obvious benefit of the move would be vastly increased space for student groups--three long floors of plush offices worth of it. Small organizations like the Harvard Anim Society could take over the desks of staff assistants, medium-sized organizations like Demon Magazine the offices of mid-level coordinators and large organizations like Harvard Model Congress the space now squandered on deans. "The ballooning in the number of groups in recent years has left three out of four without office space," The Crimson reported last spring. "Others are in spaces drastically inadequate for their needs." Shift the administration...

We pictured ourselves stranded amongst girl geniuses competing over how many digits of pi they could recite on command.

"And a lot of people on Capitol Hill still imagine China in terms of a 'Red Threat' or a 'Yellow Peril.' That could create difficulties when this deal gets to Congress." If the agreement becomes the focus of a domestic political fight, that could further cloud U.S.-China relations - after all, despite the compensation deal, Beijing hasn't yet accepted that the embassy bombing was an accident...
