LEAVE IT TO THE COMEDIAN to have the last laugh. Joey Bishop outlived all the more famous--and more raucous--Rat Packers. By the 1960s he had earned stardom alongside buddies Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford and Sammy Davis Jr. But he was never completely overshadowed by the better-known members of his cohort. In 1960 TIME wrote, "Theoretically, Joey has bottom billing, [but] as soon as he starts talking he is recognized as top banana in a newly assembled comedy act that is breaking up Vegas."

The 31-member undergraduate committee—made up of representatives appointed from each of the Houses, the freshman class, and the Undergraduate Council—spoke with Smith over dinner...
...done an admirable job of institutionalizing first steps towards campus sustainability. The Harvard Green Campus Initiative and Green Campus Loan Fund serve as apt examples. But these important offices depend on our actions as students. Summers would not have signed the Sustainability Principles without pressure from undergraduates; Former Dean of the College Benedict H. Gross ’71 would not have pledged money to the Green Crimson Fund but for student expectations; the Energy Task Force would not have convened without the overwhelming support shown by undergraduates in last year’s vote. Sustainability, in short, would...
