...Elects First Female President" (Dec. 14): Certainly, it is exciting that the Harvard Computer Society has elected a woman president, but no doubt the newly-elected Virginia Beauregard '01 has more to her than her sex. The newly elected male in the article, Business Manager Michael Bodell '01, gets to be quoted about the exciting new individuals in the organization, the potential for the future and the prospects for new innovations. Meanwhile Beauregard is left to insist that she never thought much about the gender balance in HCS and doesn't think there are barriers for women...
While we of course do not approve of the president's actions, we did not believe they merited his impeachment and we have no doubt that they do not now warrant his removal from office.

What is surprising is how many contemporary Americans find Tripp's conduct as hellish as Dante would have. We live at a far remove from the medieval poet's moral cosmology. Where he prescribed eternal...
...morally bankrupt notion. In fact, there are obvious biblical resonances: original sin, the flesh is weak and so on. The anti-Clinton vengeance seekers claim to hate the sin while loving the sinner, but their hatred of the sinner is so obvious and so extreme that it even casts doubt on how much they actually hate the sin. Most people don't even pretend to love this particular sinner. But they see how a guy can go from succumbing to momentary temptation to lying about it to a grand jury, and they see it as a seamless human story...
