...crashing down--that moves us. In the days since Barbaro's accident and surgery, the horse--now housed in a 13-ft. by 11-ft. stall at the University of Pennsylvania's George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals--has received a flood of cards he can't read, endless baskets of fruit he won't finish, and flowers he may or may not smell. Tens of thousands of dollars and untold hours of effort will be spent on his care, all for an animal that--his potential $30 million in breeding fees notwithstanding--was already insured...

The culture of complaint is starting to become a defining aspect of the Harvard experience, and while our endless complaining is occasionally legitimate, I’m not sure it reflects our true feelings. My generally positive demeanor certainly hasn’t stopped me from joining the chorus several times a day. So in an effort to subdue my senior nostalgia, I present common complaints and the underlying...
