...said she was "disappointed" when she was convicted of perjury last week for lying to a grand jury about a 2001 shoot-out involving her manager and another friend. She's got to be frontin'. The risqué rapper, whose star has tarnished a bit in recent years, is facing the ultimate show-biz pick-me-up: jail time. What's more, it's for protecting her crew with a completely hopeless lie.

...urge all students--those who are returning, and those who are new to Harvard--to support the anti-apartheid movement vigorously. We also encourage unflagging support for the Southern Africa Solidarity Committee and the United Frontin their work against this great evil. The task will not be easy, and with an important but unfortunately unexciting slate of case-by-case reviews in the offing, it will take real dedication. But the memory of Steve Biko and all he stood for compels us to do no less. It may be a new year, but the goal remains the same: Harvard...
