...recent nightclub tragedies in Chicago, Ill. and Providence, R.I. strike with especial poignance to the college crowd. The sad and painful death of so many people resonates with students—many of whom frequent nightclubs regularly. It seems that disasters such as these could strike at a club near Harvard, or any college campus, in the plainest and most ordinary of circumstances...
...thought he would ever see. In 1999 Davis was the president of Arista Records, the label he founded and had run for 25 years, when Arista's German parent, Bertelsmann Music Group, pressed him to retire.

Sadly, the Faculty Council’s current solution implies that students are the roots of their own problems, without offering these students an effective helping...
Those rare moments of serendipitous celebration can often make one forget the far more frequent moments of disappointment. The only Ivy team never to win a league title, the Crimson squandered a golden chance in last season’s jumbled race when it lost a close game at home to Princeton and then slipped up on the road against Yale and Cornell...
