...other groups that were approved were the Harvard College SCUBA Club; the Harvard College Nigerian Students’ Association; the Harvard College Real Estate Club; the Pacific Northwest Club; the Harvard College GeoSociety; College Matters, a public service group which sponsors seminars about applying to college; and the Mic Club, an organization devoted to stimulating interest and support for hip-hop artists and fans...
...worst industrial accidents of modern times. On the edge of town stood a seven-hectare pesticide plant owned by the U.S. company Union Carbide. Around midnight, water passed through a safety valve that had been deactivated and poured into a 13-meter steel tank of methyl isocyanate (MIC).

...distinguishing trait—here offer no variety and aren’t as prominently displayed as on earlier releases, and in compensation for the diminished guitar work, Shepherd sings on most of the album. Noah Hunt, who fronted the band on the last three records, takes the mic here only on two tracks. Kid Rock also guest-stars but is unable to save the album’s sonically limited vocals. It’s not that Shepherd has an atrocious voice; he just isn’t a singer and would be better giving his attention to composing...
