...hallway leading off of the Quincy JCR is a quiet one with muted white walls, a hushed brown carpet, and subdued maroon doors. Until you reach office #6—a door which, unlike its silent fellows, is covered with colorful photos, portraits, and bumper stickers which roar: “United for Peace, Divided in War,” “Hate is Not a Family Value” and “DARE to Speak Truth to Power.” Inside, surrounded on one side by a jam-packed floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, on the other...
...like-minded colleagues, he was now somewhat isolated.

But there's none of the optimism and the energy of last year. "Last year's protests pushed the Tibet issue to the top of the international news...

There are many songs I don’t like, but there are only two songs that actually make me physically nauseous when I hear them: Maroon 5’s “This Love,” and R.E.M.’s worst song: “Stand.” Yet somehow Al’s nasal singing voice perfectly fits the obnoxious melody, and even his descriptions of rotting lunchmeat can?...
