...stings when you stick your hand in a nest of fire ants. This nugget of wisdom—and other lessons for aspiring naturalists—were on display at last night’s showing of a documentary about two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard professor Edward O. Wilson. Wilson, who has been at Harvard for 56 years, is most famous for his work as an entomologist and his advocacy for the environment. The film featured reenactments of Wilson’s boyhood, including the incident with a pinfish that left him permanently blind in one eye. The accident...

Few in Pakistan expect the poll to be either free or fair: Emergency rule will not be lifted until December 16, leaving candidates little more than three weeks of campaigning; several provincial candidates may have to campaign while under house arrest; and Sharif himself has been barred from running for Prime Minister.

...greeting unsuspecting fingertips. Such behavior reeks of seven-year-old self-centeredness. Supposedly, Harvard students are above that. But this speaks to a more general problem: Too often, students view one another as obstacles or means to an end. It’s the same kind of mentality on display in the New York subway as travelers scramble and shove past one another to squeeze onto trains. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that communities, from New York City to Harvard, operate largely on goodwill; We are each partially responsible for the (un)pleasantness...
