...that you ran a cover story on Tibet when the world is preparing to participate in the most prestigious international athletic event in China. The world community should pressure China to end its occupation of Tibet.

I didn't have to press him, because he'll tell anyone who asks that he misses Iraq. Having spent five years there, he's deeply invested...
Magazine readers nationwide may have been surprised yesterday when they picked up what looked like a thin April issue of National Geographic—and found Paris Hilton cavorting with a stuffed elephant and gorilla on the cover. No, it’s not an actual copy of the iconic nature publication, but an April Fools’ parody issue distributed across the country in a collaborative effort between National Geographic magazine and The Harvard Lampoon, a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine. The Lampoon provided and controlled the content...
