...experience shows that while students can attempt to reduce safety risks, the University must also make this campus safer. Harvard's streets and pathways need to be lit brightly at night. Currently, the campus is riddled with poorly lit areas, and criminals can exploit this situation and lurk undetected in the shadows. Installing more street-lights is not a costly improvement--there is no excuse for the University not to improve campus lighting immediately. This situation is even more disturbing given the fact that temporary lighting is installed in the Yard during Commencement week to keep chairs in Tercentenary Theatre...

Second, Russia wouldn't have to send trillions of rubles here, since once the conflict is settled, we don't intend to ask Russia for any money. We can jointly exploit the riches of this land, including income from [energy] transports through this key geographical area...
...house agent provocateur, seeking to move Nixon away from the moderate center. His mission, then as now, was to make conservatism the dominant strain of the Republican Party. Buchanan sought to capture George Wallace's constituency for the Republican Party. As early as 1970, he was advising Nixon to exploit the roiling economic anxieties of the middle class for political gain, the same voters to whom he is singing his siren song now.
