...existential crisis in my life. Unlike the young Woody Allen, I do my homework—and polish my resume, agonize about graduate school, write trivial articles for The Crimson, all without thinking about the inexorable outward stretching of the universe (Annie Hall might not be up-to-date on the most recent developments in physics, but every theory I’ve come across ends in inevitable cosmological doom). As an English concentrator, I’ve written four papers on Hamlet, and read the play countless times. Yet not once while I was preening...
...applaud the College’s decision to issue new student identification cards, which contain a chip that can be read from a short distance. Not only do these new “tap” cards eliminate the cumbersome process of swiping, but they bring Harvard up to date with modern security and forgery-protection present at most of our peer institutions. While these long overdue changes are quite admirable and long overdue, one major concern remains: sensitivity. Excitement surely captured us when we first felt the thicker, stiffer, more robust cards in our eager hands. We assumed that...
...there were a real choice for Bernanke and Paulson, no one has been brave enough to voice it. Yet, in a matter of hours, several prominent thinkers rushed to deem the bailout the abandonment of classical economic theories about free market capitalism, as well as the expiration date of Reaganite de-regulation.

...foot to the train station. Every time a horseman passed them, Felicity had shivered uncontrollably.Now they had spent two months already in the palatial villa which Roxanna could see rising into view up the road, the rows of tall cypresses framing bright walls.

Certainly the Viscount and the Viscountess shared the same bed every night. Yet their room seemed oddly quiet, and when Roxanna brought Felicity her evening glass of warm milk, she thought the Viscountess...
...devotees praise their energy and earnestness, but their detractors ridicule the drugged-out, sex-crazed disillusionment that permeates their lyrics and sends hipster students into a swoon. On “Stay Positive,” the Brooklyn band presents some of their most exciting and universal material to date. The new record may not end the continuing argument over the band’s merits, but it should be enough to quiet some of their critics. At the very least, they’ve crafted one of the most enjoyable albums of the summer. The Hold Steady have built...
