...that this is a common affliction among Harvard students. It’s frayed from pulling out my ID card several times a day in order to swipe it through machines that serve various purposes all over campus. I do this not once but twice, for example, during the jaunt from courtyard to bedroom. After five semesters of such swipery, my wallet is on the verge of a nervous collapse; it just wasn’t meant for this kind of extreme use. I estimate that I remove my ID card from my wallet more than twenty times...
DALLAS—The road trip to SMU was Harvard’s longest jaunt of the 2005-2006 season, and the 40 minutes on the hardwood were even more of an eternity last night for the Crimson.

A quick jaunt into The Federalist Papers reveals that the executive’s subservience to the written law is actually one of our system’s selling points, in the view of the Founders themselves...
...it’s the “indie” thing to do! Earlier this year, Bloc Party put out a sliced-and-diced “Silent Alarm,” Death From Above 1979 gave the thumbs-up to a supefluous retooling of their last jaunt, and now, everyone’s favorite genius-posing-as-a-poseur, Beck, has jumped on the remixwagon. The results are tepid, at best.“Guero” was unjustly derided. It was a grower. It had to be seen in all its aspects before it could be properly...
