...gender issues, and send a message: You belong here. In 1997, Harvard did not feel like “my” place. It did not feel like a friendly place for the women here in 1987, 1977, 1967, or 1957. There has been plenty of backlash to the idea of a women’s center and to the existence of Women’s Week.

They're never going to find out all the correct ballots." That may seem like an absurd idea. But in fact, Minnesota law provides that the state could resort to a coin flip if both candidates are tied. That happened in a 2008 race for mayor of Goodridge, a northern town here with a population of 98, after each candidate received 22 votes. At this point...
