...When the ground was broken almost a year ago on the renovations to Memorial Hall, we rejoiced that a new student center was to be included in the historic Ware and Van Brunt building. The beautiful extension on Kirkland Street, which kept the old hall's intricate brickwork pattern, and the new underground entrance facing the Science Center, whetted our appetites for something extraordinary. When Loker Commons opened its doors last term, we weren't disappointed...
...notable as the program's success is the fact that two pro-lifers, the Bennetts, and two pro-choicers, the Powells, have found common ground at a time when any deviance from abortion orthodoxy creates seismic splits in the Republican Party. For his moderation--opposing a human-life amendment and distinguishing between early abortions and those post-viability, which he would restrict--Bennett has been labeled "pro-abortion" by Dr. James Dobson of the Focus on the Family.

"It is against international law to prosecute a foreigner for treason," says Grimaldo Achahui. "You can't take away her nationality...

Foyle fouled Grancio in the air, knocking the big man to the ground. The shot soared through the air in a perfect arc as Grancio lay on the ground, and fell with a quiet whoosh, bringing the crowd to an uproar." Excuse me while I vomit. This is not the first time that a Crimson sports writer has included unnecessary hyperbole in an article. I'm pretty sure...
