The War of the Worlds star purchased a sonogram machine, which can cost as much as $200,000, to keep an eye on the fetus growing inside his fiancé KATIE HOLMES.

Seniors who give to Senior Gift are not making short-term statements of their political values. Nor are they endorsing the ephemeral political situation at the University or around the globe. Senior Gift is about the belief that a Harvard education should be available to everyone. It is bigger than any individual or cause. Students who refrain from giving to Senior Gift are not punishing the leadership of the University; they are only punishing those most in need. So, in an attempt to frame the debate before another graduating class is led astray, we want to express our support...
