...just 1 percent higher than the odds of getting into Harvard College itself. The electoral landscape in the Yard contrasts with the terrain facing upperclassman candidates. The four freshman districts each fielded at least 19 candidates this year, with Leverett House, the next most contested precinct, putting forth a meager six. It’s not just the freshman candidates who are getting the electoral urge. First-years are also going to the polls—that is, the UC website—in greater numbers than their more grizzled elders.

Whereas the first child might well suffer while being raised by an unprepared, overworked, unhealthy, and neglectful mother, an abortion would allow the woman to postpone pregnancy until she first...
...thing is certain: money doesn't buy old age. In Jackson County, which has a population of just 1,454, the median household income is a meager $31,821. That's much less than the national average of $41,994. Lots of freezers stocked with venison. Lots of pickups with rebuilt engines...
