...Oppenheim notes, "The overwhelming majority of undergraduate women are not complaining of any rampant discrimination by Harvard." Yet the lack of complaint and awareness lies precisely at the heart of the issue (what is activism but the exposure of previously unrealized problems?)--an issue that must have escaped his notice as he busily and self-righteously attacks members of the U.C. for not attending the town meeting...
...visibility of this feminist activism continue to plague Harvard. Oppenheim, perceiving women's groups merely to be a place for fuzzy self-esteem games, questions the existence of the Ann Radcliffe Trust at a time when advocates for women's issues should no longer remain silent. Oppenheim shows his lack of understanding when he asks, "As for the existence of 'emotional support,' don't we all need a bit of that?" Perhaps what's really needed at Harvard is not a women's center to address intricate issues of gender politics, but a center to soothe the bleeding wounds...

While the junior finished with 18 points, his lack of inside aggressiveness led to a total of zero trips to the free-throw line...
...drive, five-cylinder turbodiesel Benzes cost about $5 million, or $80,000 apiece.

...produce enough dopamine, or do their brains not produce enough dopamine because of external factors? "Would this problem afflict our children if we were still out on the frontier battling elephants?" asks TIME science writer Christine Gorman. "Probably not." Many attribute the symptoms of ADHD - short attention span, fidgetiness, lack of motivation - to modernity's sensory overload: Perhaps the brain is merely compensating for the five hours of electronic media the average child absorbs each day. And we thought this information revolution was making us smarter...
