...watched TV pundits galore proclaim TIME irrelevant because Bush was not on the A list. If TIME is so yesterday, why were they discussing it? First of all, the TIME 100 was divided into several categories, which narrowed the number of slots that Bush was eligible to fill. And as the pundits went on to decry the supposed snubbing of the leader of the one superpower, they failed to separate the man from the office. Bush is steadily losing the respect of the world as his record of failed policies grows. A man who has to wield the power...

...television could soon be accessible in upperclassmen houses through electrical wires. For $25 to $35 per month, Harvard students could enjoy 250 channels of DirecTV. This proposal is not a whimsical claim of entitlement to better television; it is a refreshingly motivated and entirely student-funded project that will fill an embarrassing gap in the quality of student accommodation. The administration should allow this system to be installed in dorms across campus and refrain from paternalistic regulation.
