Meanwhile, dozens of border guards, National Guard soldiers and other law-enforcement officials in Arizona have been charged with accepting bribes from FBI agents posing as Mexican drug smugglers. Towns in Florida and Connecticut--where Republican John Rowland quit the Governor's mansion in 2004 and went to jail last year for his part in a gifts-for-contracts scheme--are also charging their local officials. The FBI even had a local West Virginia politician facing corruption charges pose as a candidate in a state-legislature election in order to help uncover vote buying and other instances of election fraud...

Compared to the aristocratic homes of other U.S. founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin's house at 36 Craven Street in London is downright modest. George Washington inhabited a grand estate at Mount Vernon, Virginia, and Thomas Jefferson built Monticello, an elegant mansion, in the same state. But for 15 years, Franklin was a tenant in a simple four- story Georgian brick row house on a street off the Strand near Trafalgar Square. The house's interior is handsome but spare, reflecting the thrifty nature of the man who popularized the proverb, "A penny saved is a penny earned...

Without a key to a multi-million-dollar mansion on Mt. Auburn Street, it can be difficult to find a community at Harvard. FM is mine. I love this magazine if nothing else because it loves me back. Sometimes the relationship is shaky. I have mixed feelings about the times I made fun of freshmen, about the times I boldly bragged about being “quite the practiced masturbator” by the age of nine. I think this magazine sometimes takes life too lightly, over-analyzes too earnestly, mocks too mercilessly, and prints pictures of casual sex acts...

...Five days a week, a group of students come together at 14 Plympton, The Crimson’s own red brick mansion, to put together a newspaper that reaches not only bored breakfasters, but also a troupe of alumni and sometimes even those beyond the Harvard bubble. Not bad for a gig between classes...
