...protesters stain a back row of Mansfield's class and walked out silently after 15 minutes. This protest was certainly not as outlandish or offensive as the active disruption of Mansfield's Government 1091 class, "Liberalism and Conservatism in American Politics," which occurred last September. But even this mild disruption is a violation of the sanctity of the classroom and an infringement on Mansfield's professorial rights. Political protests should not take place inside Harvard classrooms...

Jarmusch told The Crimson that "Dead Man" most significantly alters the traditional Western rubric by presenting a main character who is passive. "Johnny's character starts out very mild-mannered, but he's such a blank piece of paper that people want to write all over it."

...against a residential area." We're not sure exactly what residential area she means, since Kinko's and Chili's are further down Mt. Auburn St. than C'est Bon--and Kinko's itself is open 24 hours. We don't see how a mild-mannered cafe such as C'est Bon could possibly disturb residents more than the brightly-lit, all-night Kinko's already has. However, perhaps the C'est Bon next to be Store 24 on Massachussetts Avenue would be a better choice if this was an issue...

...starts, while tomorrow's starters are still up in the air. Schafer, at 2-2 with a 3.80 ERA, has shown promising signs thus far. He had a tough, last-out loss last weekend against Yale, but looked strong despite the fact that he has been suffering from a mild tear of the rotator cuff...
