...bravery” and “gusto.” The Columbia Spectator, that campus’s paper of record, congratulated the University for displaying the “courage and philosophical integrity befitting a prestigious institution.” The New York Times, no doubt comprised of many graduates from both amateur periodicals, similarly gushed: They “could imagine no better way to give hope to opponents of Iran’s repressive state” than to honor the country’s leader with a forum at an Ivy League university?...
...issues a list of all the contracts it has awarded that day. Last Thursday, well down on the roster, was a trio of contracts to three companies for more than $1 billion to buy 2,400 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles for U.S. troops in Iraq. There is no doubt such heavy-duty vehicles are needed. Improvised-explosive devices account for more than half the U.S. fatalities in Iraq; and the characteristic V-shaped hulls of these vehicles are engineered to deflect blasts from roadside bombs away from the troops within. So the push is on to get the MRAPs...
...chill does set in for this Series, it will definitely change the game. "No doubt," says former major leaguer Orel Hershiser, who pitched for the Cleveland Indians in the 1997 World Series against the Florida Marlins.

I doubt that I’m the only one who sees the irony in a university dining service that deems plasma TVs a necessary expense but balks at living wages for its workers, fair trade policies for its produce, and its perennial anathema, extended dining hours. Apparently, Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) was able to make this decision because it derives profits from its “retail operations.” This begs the question, why should a university dining service be extracting profits from those who already...
...with a vengeance. Balenciaga’s version of the trust-funded prep-schooler wears a fur trimmed blue piped blazer (complete with gold crest) as well as jodhpurs, an accessory that feels like the child of a Boer War sergeant and a 15-year-old Prince William. I doubt the typical Harvard co-ed will go as far as donning jodhpurs (I bought some, but I like to do things to the extreme), but the coat is do-able, even to the especially unenlightened of the Harvard community. Heck, it’s the apotheosis of preppy...
