...News’ Chief Foreign Correspondent Lara Logan visited Kirkland House on Friday afternoon for an intimate talk about her decades-long career as a journalist. The event, hosted in the Kirkland Masters’ residence, is part of the House??s speaker-series, “Conversations with Kirkland.” Logan, who is currently a correspondent for 60 Minutes and CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, focused on several events in her life that she said have shaped the way she reports. The South African-born journalist stressed the importance of her upbringing during...
...less than what was proposed by Governor Deval L. Patrick ’78 three months ago. That same month, Patrick made a midyear budget cut of $128 million, leading to a local aid decrease of approximately $2.6 million for the City of Cambridge for fiscal year 2009.

...biggest benefits of the House system is the bewildering array of wonderful quirks that has developed over time and the development of a unique House culture at every residence. Take, for example, Eliot House??s beloved spring formal or Dunster House??s bizarre side gate. But this diversity does not seem to extend to the SCR: All 12 residential Houses seem to have an exclusionary and enigmatic policy regarding this supposedly “common” physical space. Kirkland House, for example, only allows students to use the space by appointment, while Winthrop and Eliot...
