...Oxford University,” The Hindu grieved the same morning. Only the somber weightiness of a presidential obituary was suitable for what these newspapers dutifully reported: Harvard-educated Rhodes scholars, Melissa L. Dell ’05 and Swati Mylavarapu ’05, had penned an op-ed in this student newspaper complaining about their Oxford experience...
...editors: While Ben Kawaller’s piece entitled “The Era of PoHoMoPho” (op-ed, Mar. 7) is spot-on in its treatment of the exchange of taboos between close friends, I believe Kawaller misses the mark when he extends his analysis to public figures.

Looking back, it’s hard to remember why such dialogue had to repeat itself so many times before the relationship ended. That is the result of inundation in a culture accepting of the objectification of women; indeed, a culture where abstinence has no voice...
