...coin-operated machines located in Mather, Currier and Leverett Houses—which cost $4 an hour to use ($3 with tokens)—allowed students to write and correct text documents on screens, as well as perform basic list and mathematical functions...
...Time to Stop? I have grown disappointed over the past few years as TIME seems to have developed a persisting devotion to lists of people [TIME 100, May 12]. I imagine you all sitting around a table at a bar, throwing out names and drinking beer as you pretend these lists provide anything that resembles decent content.

Northwestern created a "family justice" center for Dohrn to run. Ayers is a "distinguished professor" at the University of Illinois. They write Op-Eds and are often quoted in the Tribune, where, if they are identified at all beyond their academic...
