...House tradition to be a place of diversity and tolerance but also a locale of activism and support for the entire Harvard community,” Adams House BGLT tutor Christopher J. Hanson wrote in an e-mailed statement. Hanson also contacted Adams junior and BGLTSA Secretary Christian L. Garland ’10, who forwarded Nicolson’s message to the BGLTSA e-mail list. Garland wrote in an e-mailed statement that he will “press [BGLTSA] to become more involved with other interested organizations (like SLAM) to form a more coherent and organized movement...
...response to the dramatic surge in crime in the 1960s, lawmakers across the country and at all levels of government responded with a novel and dangerous policy known today as mass incarceration. Sociologist David Garland defines mass incarceration as the policies that produce a national imprisonment rate that exceeds the historical and comparative norm for similar societies. Since then, the U.S. incarceration rate has skyrocketed to 715 per 100,000, the highest in the world (Russia is a distant second...
...Beverly Garland, 82, played it steely in '50s B movies (she starred in five early Roger Corman cheapies), then sweet as Fred MacMurray's wife on My Three Sons. A cut-rate Barbara Stanwyck, she deserved better scripts than she got. In Edgar G.

...Triangle, there will always be men like Botts who are fooled by the country's freewheeling reputation and corrupt police force into thinking that smuggling out heroin in cans of shaving foam is a sensible way to earn a living. The second question is tougher. But apart from Alex Garland's classic novel The Beach, the books I see most tourists reading in Thailand are the his-and-hers prison memoirs The Damage Done (convicted Australian heroin trafficker Warren Fellows' account of life in Bang Kwang Central Prison) and Forget You Had A Daughter (by British smuggler Sandra Gregory). Wherever...
...fine a musical artist as any in the 20th century, up there in a group that included Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland and Peggy Lee. Jo Stafford, who died July 16 at age 90, sang directly in the center of the note, and her sound was as clear as a Spanish town at noon. Stafford was also remarkable for the diversity of the material she tackled. She was one of the greatest ballad singers who ever lived, but she sang pop songs--her 1952 hit You Belong to Me sold 2 million copies--as well as folk music, country songs...
