...will be here for four years, I will be here until I die, and Harvard will be here forever," Geyser University Professor and former dean of the faculty Henry Rosovsky once told a group of undergraduates. It is this attitude that drives the Corporation, the seven-man all-white governing board which technically owns all of Harvard, to exclude students from any major decisions affecting the University...
There are other contexts in which the Constitution offers little guidance: in genetic engineering, in the issues of the right to die and the right to life.

My definition of "dying in vain" includes being killed in your bed without knowing you are in danger and without firing a shot. In the future, whenever the U.S. undertakes a mission into a hostile area, the Government should plan for the inevitable risks. Let's leave senseless martyrdom to others...
