...weeks ago, I witnessed a bizarre scene. As I crossed the Yard on my way to Lamont Library, I saw a dog stalking a squirrel while its owner stood close by. The dog crept forward stealthily, guided by an instinct that years of leashes and dog food could never completely suppress. Meanwhile, a crowd of bystanders gathered, titillated, perhaps, by the prospect of bloodshed, but at the same time confident that the dog would not succeed. Minutes passed. And then, with a rapidity and ferocity that shocked the onlookers, the dog pounced, caught the squirrel by its bushy tail...
Cries of sacrilege and inevitable mayhem over a café in Lamont Library were printed on this page as early as October, 2005. With fresh memories of scantily clad Dudley Co-op residents and flying burritos, concerned studiers and bibliophiles were rightfully worried that Lamont might become the type of library that The New York Times recently exposed in “Lock the Library!

The Institute of Politics (IOP) announced its lineup of spring fellows yesterday, a roster also marked by the presence of two right-leaning Harvard alums-turned-politicians whose 2006 campaigns ended in disappointment. In addition to Lamont, other high-profile candidates who will lead study groups with undergraduates are Kerry M. Healey ’82, former lieutenant governor of Massachusetts and this past year’s unsuccessful Republican gubernatorial candidate...
