This is not to say that all Harvard students constantly seek the approval of others. But the tendency is there for some, and the temptation for the rest of us is great. The easiest way to understand the tragedy of such a lifestyle is by reading the piece of literature that most powerfully conveys it. "Death of a Salesman" is a 90-page play that one could easily finish on the plane ride home. And the message is significantly more important that chomping on some pretzels and finishing the crossword puzzle in Delta's Sky magazine. I think Arthur Miller...
Harvard social politics also function in such a way that there exists a fine, almost indistinguishable line between the Good Guys and the Martyrs. The easiest way to attain Good Guy status at Harvard is to suffer some egregious affront--oftentimes in the form of a failed election attempt or an unfulfilled goal. As such, we fill our void of Good Guys with an overflowing reserve of Martyrs. Martyrs, after all, are safe to praise.

Democrats looking to pick off Senate seats tagged that of Spencer Abraham, a first-termer and Michigan's first G.O.P. Senator in more than 20 years, as their easiest target. The contest turned out to be a squeaker, but two-term Congresswoman Debbie Stabenow finally delivered. Though outspent by nearly 2 to 1, the bubbly Stabenow outshone her often lusterless opponent on the campaign trail and in the debates. Stabenow, 50, who had previously served in the state legislature for 16 years, starting at age 28, campaigned most vigorously on prescription-drug benefits for the elderly. For months, the Abraham...
