Almost all of us either are drawn to this vocation by some sort of serious personality defect or else become progressively crazier as we clock more and more hours at 14 Plympton. It’s easy for the president of The Crimson, whose job is to think about things much bigger and more far-reaching than the daily operations of the paper, to take for granted that the next morning there will be six news stories...
