Those who argue that UC elections without these bans would become total electronic free-for-alls are likely mistaken. We are convinced that as with other conduits for electronic advertising on this campus, e-mail flows regulate themselves. Members of a house open list, for example, would respond quickly and savagely should their list be overrun with irrelevant e-mails. Because tracking candidate e-mails and personnel lists is nearly impossible, we favor self-regulation through which those turned off by e-mails can voice their opposition through complaints to a campaign—or even through the ballot...
Gilbert and Sullivan operettas exist within a world of their own. To begin with, the comedic works are distinctly British and distinctly Victorian. But even beyond their spatial and temporal remoteness, the pieces tend to play themselves out in a bizarre alternate world, where identities are often mistaken and endings rarely make sense.The history of the Harvard-Radcliffe Gilbert and Sullivan Players (HRG&SP) has often unfolded in a manner as quirky and topsy-turvy as the comedies themselves. The kings and controversies of Gilbert and Sullivan’s libretti seem to jump from the stage into the group?...
...springboard to launch the Law and Justice Party, which the brothers control. The party went on to win closely fought Parliamentary elections last year and, shortly afterward, presidential polls in which Lech was a come-from-behind winner.

He was appointed Prime Minister earlier this year when his predecessor stepped down following disagreements over the direction of government policy. Political analysts in Poland believe that Jaroslaw first declined...
...practice at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the late '90s, when two speedsters at opposite ends of their careers were operating in adjacent nets. Veteran Craig McDermott was bustling in as though he had a lead weight strapped to each thigh; a flowing Brett Lee, meanwhile, might have been mistaken for an Olympic sprinter. Though as cagey as ever, McGrath these days looks a lot like McDermott did. "You always think you have more to offer," Jeff Thomson said recently on the topic of McGrath and other ageing quicks. "Years after you retire you look back at footage of your...
...filled with relief. The previous evening, a Harvard undergraduate had been mugged, beaten up, and robbed at gunpoint on the corner of Shepard and Garden streets, right outside the Quad. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly Harvard and Cambridge’s community leaders had responded. How mistaken I was. Upon reading the article more carefully, I quickly realized that the increased police patrols in the quad were not in fact intended to protect Harvard students going to and from the quad, but to protect the rest of the community from them! The Harvard students’ grave crime...
