...social scene since I’ve been here.” With the completion of these hangout spots, Harvard has a handful of new spaces aimed at revitalizing undergraduate campus life. Now it remains to be seen how students utilize these venues in the coming years. Perhaps the lure of a smooth-finishing frosty mug of “Harvard’s specialty 1636” beer will be enough to draw Cantabrigian bookworms from their sushi-filled holes in Lamont and out into a social setting...
...mutual interest. Not only would this represent a more efficient use of the CEB budget, it would have a lasting impact on the rather flimsy fraternal feeling among the student body. Furthermore, these small events are far easier to plan: The promise of food and entertainment is guaranteed to lure some students, and even a modicum of experimentation will reveal the most popular opportunities. The CEB’s present movie-showings, dances and discussions form only a small fraction of what could be accomplished given the resources and motivation. Fortunately, it seems the somewhat misguided emphasis on larger College...
...buzz Sunday night on Rue Solferino was that to lure Bayrou voters behind Royal, Socialists would seize on another factor in first-round polling: Le Pen's collapse, which saw his share of the vote almost halved from the tally he scored in 2002.

"This is an entirely new campaign," Lepetit says. "It's one in which voters will have to decide between fear, xenophobia, and a very small view of France and its place in the world...
...many middle-class Chinese risk a perilous crossing, mountains of debt and years of grueling labor to start over in a strange land? Life in Fujian is not one of mass starvation or political persecution. But the lure of overseas gold remains great. When his restaurant in England is busy, Little Lin's brother, Big Lin, can make $600 a week, tax free, and despite his underground status, his life is hardly a misery. Big Lin does not know anyone who has been held hostage by a snakehead or enslaved in a factory. Nor has he ever been stopped...
