...various materials to their houses, but I hope all of you will read it. I sympathize with the occasional little problem that affects the houses as it would affect any college dormitory at any college, and appreciate that it takes clean-up time and money.

Busy Harvard students--like most people--rarely spend the effort to pick up and take to their rooms...

...Menem can successfully implement the necessary economic reforms (privatizing the woefully inefficient state-run enterprises that cause the massive state deficits, allowing the central bank greater autonomy in setting monetary policy and overhauling the primitive system of tax collection that enables economic elites to get a free ride) Argentina will likely recover, though the process will inevitably be very long and painful for the nation...

According to Deale, the 1979 Massachusetts Civil Rights Act prohibits private entities such as Harvard from coercing, intimidating or threatening anyone to keep them from exercising their constitutional rights, including rights to free speech. HRAAA maintains that the Young Report violates this...
