...more than 80 percent of the Class of 2009 hails from the top half of the national income distribution. It can also be difficult for students to garner personal attention: the student-to-faculty ratio is higher than Yale, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania. And an internal Harvard memo from 2002 revealed that Harvard students rate their campus’s social life below many of their peers at other elite schools. The memo, first reported in The Boston Globe, ranked Harvard 26th out of a survey of 31 colleges in student satisfaction with social life...
...daily pressure to create a winning race car that caused Stewart to pull himself over for a psychological pit stop. "I decided, 'I'm just going to up and go home,'" he said. It wasn't that Stewart disliked Charlotte (memo to Chamber of Commerce: he's still got a place there). It's that he just couldn't get away from the shop, which was only about 15 minutes from his house.

But last week, Ahmadinejad stunned diplomats with the sort of outburst expected from a terrorist, not a President. At a conference in Tehran called "The World Without Zionism," Ahmadinejad told 4,000 students that "Israel must be wiped off the map." Afterwards, he joined 30,000 Iranians...
...nomination will be seen as a sop to conservatives, but they are thrilled to take it. A memo being circulated among conservatives asserts that Alito "has more federal judicial experience than 105 of the 109 Supreme Court Justices appointed in U.S. history." Progress for America, a self-described independent group that works closely with the White House, planned to have an ad for him on the air within seven hours. At the other end of the spectrum, the liberal People for the American Way said his judicial philosophy "is far to the right." Sen. Charles Schumer, Democrat of New York...
