...slow with his thank-you notes, but the North Carolina Senator's Jan. 2 announcement that he was running was masterly: a tightly organized media blitz of 40 interviews, plus a news conference at the end of his driveway. The more seasoned Gephardt botched his entry when an overly eager fund raiser leaked the news two days early...
...more eager than we are at Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) to perform renovations of the dining facilities at Dunster, Mather and Quincy Houses (Editorial, “Molière’s Dining Halls,” Jan. 13).

Shapiro and my wife Ann and I are always eager to hear about how our tutors are doing. We get a lot of comments from students on the subject and we would welcome even more. In January, we meet with each tutor or tutor couple separately, and discuss how the students in their entry and their sophomore advisees are doing. We also ask about their own progress...
