University President Drew G. Faust will attend this year’s Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) commissioning ceremony during Commencement, continuing a new precedent set by her predecessor Lawrence H. Summers.

In D.C., Ebrahim said he placed three of his graduate students in three different nonprofits: a meal program, a drop-in center, and a housing service for domestic...
...Still, the two colleagues Roberts drew to his opinion were more than any of the other justices could do. Justice Clarence Thomas held, alone, that the Constitution forbids only those execution methods that are expressly intended to inflict severe pain.

Also beyond the pale, he noted, would be burning prisoners alive...
