...Harvard’s conservatives, this episode is a blatant manifestation of sex-crazed juveniles and The Homosexual Agenda Inc. (Those crazy gays! They’re taking over the world!) They seem to think that the only reason a guy and a girl might want to live together is for a) incessant, vigorous sex or b) in order to topple civilization. Call me radical, but I find arguments against this legislation extraordinarily easy to dismantle, as they are, for the most part, based upon archaic Biblical fealty to Sodom and Gomorrah, fire and brimstone (Those crazy gays!

Imbibing in the Square may soon get a little bit easier. The Cambridge City Council approved a liquor license application yesterday for Manpriya, Inc., which hopes to open a liquor and package store on JFK Street. The Square has lacked a full-service liquor store since Harvard Provision closed in March 2003. The license was discussed by the Council at length because of recent local regulatory problems.

Notes Clarkson: "It shouldn't happen, but it's a source of anxiety." And that's not the only reason for worry. "We need to be concerned if the U.S. Congress decides, as a result of this, to review port security across North America," says Colin Robertson, an official...
...mandated under U.S. law governing foreign investments. U.S. critics say the oversight process paid insufficient attention to the security implications of the transaction and failed to keep Congress informed. But the Canadian process was even lower key. Transport Canada officials met with executives of P&O Ports Canada Inc. after being notified of the deal last month, but only to check whether the new owners would honor the company's existing security plan. Under Canadian regulations, a new port-terminal owner is not required to submit to security checks unless there are operational changes, such as the hiring...
