...this life or the next. If there is a next, an inner devil murmurs. What evidence beyond the Prophet's blazing and divinely inspired words proves that there is a next? Where would it be hidden? Who would forever stoke Hell's boilers? What infinite source of energy would maintain opulent Eden, feeding its dark-eyed houris, swelling its heavy-hanging fruits, renewing the streams and splashing fountains in which God, as described in the ninth sura of the Qur'an, takes eternal good pleasure?

...Harvard College Curricular Review continues to seek new ways to liberalize undergraduate academics, most recently by delaying concentration choice to the middle of sophomore year, the importance of protecting this liberal arts tradition cannot be overstated.

Today both sides maintain they are abiding by the cease-fire and neither has launched an all-out offensive, for fear of being blamed for declaring hostilities.

...membership of the UC from 51 to 35 persons. Eliminating CLC became necessary after the creation last month of the independent College Events Board (CEB), whose acitivities will be funded by University Hall. With the CEB in charge of planning campuswide social events, it would be redundant to maintain a UC committee with the same primary mission. Instrumental to the bill’s passage was a group of highly dedicated student activists.
