...probably think that future Felix Frankfurters wouldn't buy such a petty primer. Wrongo Yao told The Crimson last week that advance sales of the book--available only by writing the publisher--"have been incredible, and I don't think that's an accident." The Coop expects Packaging (which will hit the bookshelves next month) to sell "very, very well." The phenomenal thing is that there are already half a dozen similar books on sale at most area book stores (one of the best guides is Your Ticket to Low School by Harvard Law School student Lawrence Graham). Yao says...
...suspicion in the kidnaping focused on two drug-trafficking families, headed by Miguel Felix Gallardo and Rafael Caro Quintero.

At a recent luncheon, a 93 year old former History and Literature tutor was invited to speak about the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. When he elected to discuss.

Then he proceeded to praise the noble ideals, sublime truths, and beautiful thoughts embodied in the two poems. I could feel the Harvard literati of today being overwhelmed with bored amusement at the sweet...
American liberals last week welcomed the bishops' statement. Said Alice Rivlin, former director of the Congressional Budget Office and director of economic studies at the Brookings Institution: "Their letter helps to restart a national debate on what this country is going to do about poverty."
