Consider: teens are less violent and more sober than they have been in years. Despite those rare school shootings reporters cover with such lip-licking zeal, the rate of school violence fell from 48 crimes per 1,000 students in 1992 to 22 per 1,000 in 2004, according to the Department of Education. In raw terms, the number of student crimes (including theft) shrank from 3.4 million to 1.4 million in that period, even as the U.S. teen population grew by 5.4 million kids. Post-Columbine security explains some of the decline, but the school crime rate started...
...long, the improvement of writing instruction at Harvard has received mere lip service. After the Harvard College Curricular Review, the Standing Committee on Writing and Speaking was created to keep an eye on the teaching of writing, but the administration, up until the present, seemed content to rest on Harvard’s laurels.

What’s most impressive–aside from his absolutely terrific singing–is how well he carries a show that calls so much attention to its cast...

When Jay-Z finally does arrive, he successfully anchors the song until Beyoncé brings it home with...
...arguments, built precariously upon them, that often stand in for actual issues of substance. These imperfect scapegoats are, in many ways, an indication of the luxury feminists at Harvard enjoy: However snide and insidious is the sexism that feminists say they face, Harvard is at least forced to pay lip service to an equality of genders. Now, the challenges facing feminism are more de facto than de jure. It is fairly obvious that two-thirds of final clubs are all-male, and that those two-thirds control a great deal of money and property. But they are outside the jurisdiction...
