...exams and a humane winter break, some have argued that we should not abandon our unique calendar in favor of some more conventional scheme. On the contrary, the uniqueness of our calendar is part of what makes it so problematic. Many summer jobs and internships begin in early or mid-May, the time when most schools let out. Because most Harvard students must wait until late May to leave, we often miss a good deal of enriching summer experiences.

...mid-2005 a new activist emerged from Kimberlin's network. This time, the person had something of objective value: a pair of Diebold AccuVote TS voting machines, acquired through his job in the e-voting industry. Although e-voting- machine makers claimed their products were secure, no independent academic had managed to dissect an actual machine to check the assertion.

Republicans have a tradition of anointing their candidates early, and the 2008 campaign calendar suggests that they may do it even faster this time. As many as 20 states will have held their primaries by mid-February 2008--a time when, in earlier years, the candidates and their campaign organizations would still be dusting the snows of Iowa and New Hampshire from their boots. The practical effect of accelerating the schedule is that none of the contenders will be able to put all their hopes on getting...
