...hate them--or at least, and more to the point, I certainly don't hate the guys who join them. I don't reproach them for their decision, because I definitely understand the appeal. I've often been almost glad I didn't have to face the dilemma myself (although here at the dawn of the age of Seneca, these days of exemption may be numbered); it's been tricky enough deciding whether or not to hang out at the clubs, which are--as defenders and critics alike have been quick to point out--often Harvard's only option...

Buchanan thus creates a dilemma for those he claims to defend. His presence in the presidential election will cause other mainstream politicians to recognize this "forgotten" constituency. It may lead to newer and wiser policies to win their support.

...there such a thing as a wrenching dilemma for Bush? When asked to name the toughest decisions he's made, he hesitates, as if he can't think of any. "Well, the toughest decision was to run," he says at first. He pauses again and then recalls two death-penalty decisions, including his well-publicized refusal to grant a stay of execution to Karla Faye Tucker, that are featured in his book A Charge to Keep, which will be published next week. The next tough call that comes to mind: "The decision to fire Bobby Valentine" as manager...

...basically a bunch of potheads who spend their time hanging out and partying. (If you think this meal is bad, the Last Supper you'll see on the Mainstage is supposedly a mix between a backyard barbecue and a raging kegger.) Although they're sympathetic to Christ's dilemma, none of these quasi-"Deadheads" (did someone say cult?) really understands that Jesus has something serious to say--they just want to have a good time...
