...said. Jaclyn Olsen, assistant director of the Harvard Green Campus Initiative, said that she has heard positive stories from students, staff, and faculty about how the pledge has prompted them to think twice about their environmental actions. “Research shows that people are more likely to follow up on an action if they have signed a written or verbal pledge to take the action,” she said. “We do believe that there are real, measurable effects from the pledge.” Olsen said that the pledge reflects the vision of sustainability that...
...have already benefited from the HOPE scholarship, which covers the full cost of tuition at in-state public universities and gives generous grants to high-achieving students in private colleges. We applaud these states for their willingness to tackle this difficult issue, and we hope to see other states follow their example.

For those of us who follow politics, it's difficult to imagine that, at this late date, a voter could learn anything dispositive about these two men. In fact, we know them a little too well. We know that Obama has a thing for nicotine and that McCain acted like a cad with his first wife. We know the Senators' tics and mannerisms, their preferred methods of verbal indirection, their expressions when they're angry or surprised...
