...Wolf said that he has been surprised by the blog frenzy. "I think it's very easy to be critical," he said. "It requires no effort and no thinking." Later, he said that "the wave of interest has just been really fun," and that the publicity has been good for the brand. He said that a line of prep clothing bearing a "Harvard Yard" name did not run the risk of being elitist. "I think it would be aspirational," he said. When asked about student criticisms, he said that the line "is not geared for students, and is not being...
Though she handily won her elections to the bench, Keller exhibited little interest in politics during college, friends say.

Writers have become obsessed with the city, not simply as a setting for their narratives or to detail its wonders, but because they can use the city as a metaphor for issues of humanity, the arts, the past. These authors have not allowed the cheery, glossed-over tourist vision...
...40th anniversary of the moon landing was the perfect opportunity to reinject space exploration into the national consciousness. So I was disappointed that you ran a human-interest piece. The astronauts' post-NASA lives are not the primary story. The Apollo program represents more than a technological feat. The audacity to go to the moon was perhaps the 20th century's greatest illustration of America's optimism. Present generations of Americans need to recapture some of that audacity.
