...find a middle ground between an insipid, iconographic form of religion and a house life devoid of it completely? We can, and we should. Interest in religion is burgeoning at Harvard, as demonstrated by the nascent but extremely active Interfaith Forum. Religion shapes many students' lives and is therefore a wonderul context for housemates to learn about each other. To ensure that this happens, events or displays should be limited to those that are open to all members of the house and which truly educate people about a religious tradition.

Even George Bush had to blush at this desperate and embarassing attempt to jumpstart his campaign...
...emergence into the realm of the intelligible. Yet Fraser's voice has now lost its most striking asset, an "I'm either verging on a nervous breakdown or about to explode with joy" quality. Her singing on this EP is on a par with the pretty but insipid vocals of the Sundays' Harriet Wheeler -- without the cynical edge of humor that makes Wheeler palatable...
