In total, the Big Green had six turnovers, three interceptions and three fumbles. But neither coach credited the conditions as a negative factor. “We didn’t respond well,” Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens said. “Really, the turnovers had nothing to do with it.

...Heaths trumpet the notion that certain ideas are "sticky"--a term plucked from The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell's tome about how ideas and behaviors catch on in society.

A global facebook.com group called “Apple Students” boasts over 500,000 members...

Yet much of the debate, from the O’Reilly Factor to the “Kremlin on the Charles,” has remained out of touch with the realities of campus activism. In fact, we are not rabblerousers with pipedream goals who like to make a scene. We are dissidents with purpose who want to remake our community, and in the process...
