The Baker-Hamilton commission's work has been compared to a family intervention for a substance-addicted cousin, but unlike those encounters, this one won't remain behind closed doors. The entire 10-person commission will brief the President this Wednesday and then repeat the lesson for congressional leaders, both incoming and outgoing, later the same day. What happens next is designed to be even more convincing: several days of nonstop interviews on every media outlet, network and cable-TV station--a media blitz that will run well into the Sunday-morning news programs...

His wittiness outlived him, and so let this be a lesson to the UC hopefuls: in campaigns, slogans are tantamount to success. Save the platform, give me rhymes! Thomas D. Hadfield ’08 seems to agree, which is why he and S. Adam Goldenberg ’08, both Crimson editors, make a wonderful duo. “A British...
