...happier to see the guy. You see, for my final year at Harvard, my super senior year, I have the pleasure of living with quite an interesting bunch. I moved from Eliot to Leverett to live with these characters. Sometimes, however, their affinity for the distinctly “female” emerges. A couple nights ago, Wakefield and Wilosevic started arguing over the discomfort of certain fabrics—for their neckties, of course. Wagner quickly engaged as a moderator between these malcontents. When Wakefield declared an inability to wear Ferragamo ties because of the way in which...
...editorial—running just 315 words, half of which were devoted to a racist attack on Jews. “Individually, by their artistic ability and business acumen the Jews play an important part in American life. But, in their race clannishness, they choose to constitute a distinct body. And as such they are a perfectly legitimate subject for discussion,” the author says. “Race pride is a powerful and admirable force, but it would seem that the Jews could attain the desired friendly unity with the Gentile much sooner if the chord were...
...indication, Lin has already found that role. He played 25 minutes, including the critical ones down the stretch, and led the Crimson with four steals and six rebounds. Pusar started the game and played 12 minutes.With so many options at one position, a three-guard by committee is a distinct possibility.

Spurred by a dissertation project for her Ed.D. at Spalding University, FitzGerald tracked down 125 of them in 98 religious communities around the country. In the 1990s, she began an annual conference at which the women bond over such unique experiences as telling their children about their choice...
...Gates is probably under no illusions about the limitations he faces. He once told TIME that people who go to work at the White House pass through two distinct stages of astonishment. At first, they are amazed at what the place can do. But then they are quickly disillusioned by what it cannot accomplish. Putting an Iraqi exit plan in front of the President will be relatively simple. Winning Bush's full support may be harder. And executing it in a country where strategic planning is almost an oxymoron may prove beyond any man's--or any White House...
