...advising portal—too bad what’s on the other side of that portal is still, more often than not, completely useless. That’s unfortunate, since the freshman class seems to be slightly less intelligent than in years past. Recent polls have shown a fifth of Harvard freshmen can’t locate Annenberg on a University map.

A sixth anniversary is an awkward thing, without the raw feeling of a first or the numerical tidiness of a fifth or 10th. The families of the 2,973 people murdered that day need no calendrical gimmick to feel their loss, but a nation of 300 million--rightly or wrongly--is another matter...
