...Just before midnight, we count down from 10 and run. The countdown is a more energetic version of a New Year’s Eve countdown: contempt for the old and excitement about the new. But Primal Scream is more than a show of displeasure toward the old—those abominable reading period papers—it’s also an act of defiance toward the new—the dread of impending exams. The excitement for participants, and shock for spectators, comes not just from the sight of 500 screaming, naked students, but from our symbolic bird...
...working to build its media profile. Dr. Hanif gave his mobile phone number to journalists, and could always be reached for a comment on the latest fighting. "NATO says 50 dead Taliban?" he would splutter indignantly. "Not one dead, and we killed 50 soldiers." And even if his count rarely matched reality, the chubby-faced 26-year-old knew how to spin a chilling quote, telling TIME last summer, after one particularly brutal suicide bombing in Kandahar had killed eight Afghan laborers working at a nearby military base: "These men were American servants, and they were punished...

Most MMOGs target people like me who, as kids, took 20-sided dice and J.R.R.Tolkien a little too seriously, and none do it better than World of Warcraft.

He's like Willy Wonka and Harry Potter rolled up into...
...must repair our image in our neighborhood and defy stereotypes about the Harvard bubble and its self-interested policies. The integrity of this institution rests not just on tallying up its Nobel Prize count, but also in the fair treatment of its workers and in its social and environmental responsibility to the community. The next president should continue initiatives such as payment in lieu of taxes program (PILOT) of 2005, in which Harvard significantly increased its payments to Cambridge for the tax-exempt land it owns. Harvard’s neighborhood respectability is as important as its global prestige...
