During the afternoon, I bought a box of chocolates and a dozen roses and composed a sonnet declaring my undying love which I inscribed in the leaf of a copy of Sonnets from the Portuguese. Nothing could stop me this time...
...late November heard his deposition in a suit against the tobacco industry--cannot be unsaid. As the highest-ranking tobacco insider ever to turn whistle-blower, Wigand's incendiary allegations about what tobacco executives knew and how they hid it go to the heart of some half-dozen investigations and lawsuits around the country.

But for the majority, the reprieve lasts only five or 10 years. Each year more HIV escapes from the lymph nodes into their blood.

My personal favorite religious discussion of the year to date was the well-attended collaborative effort of Hillel and the Catholic Students Association: "GUILT: Nobody Does It Better." Best of all, the creation of the Undergraduate Interfaith Forum has promised...
