Unless I am seriously mistaken many Harvard students are hundreds, even thousands of miles away from home and as a result are pretty much on their own. This means we have tremendous responsibilities. Many students have jobs. Some of us pay our own bills, while others even run newspapers, important clubs and associations. But we are not allowed to run a party. A party? It must be hard for us to ensure that no one drinks too much, and that no fights break out, and to prevent whatever it is that Harvard administrators fear...
...petition was big enough to cause problems, the advertiser will more than likely cancel the commercials, and, consequently, should other advertisers be approached in a similar manner, the offending program will most likely be cancelled (no sponsors means no show, right?). Also, if I am not mistaken, A&E, the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, etc., are all for profit cable channels, yet they seem to maintain a list of outstanding educational shows and culturally enlightening programs. Can we expect them to move into the realm of "frivolity" and "inanity" that Mr. Pasquale spoke of? I doubt...
...chaired the ad hoc faculty committee appointed by Dean of the Medical School Daniel C. Tosteson '44 to conduct the inquiry, and I feel compelled to answer Professor Dershowitz because I believe his arguments are misinformed and misleading. He is mistaken about the committee's purposes.

Just one more game. Therein lies the true beauty of the Streak. Ripken never set out to eclipse the "Iron Horse," who he modestly and somewhat mistakenly believes was a much better ballplayer than himself. "I'm not even in Gehrig's league," says Ripken. Offensively speaking, Ripken may be right, although he has had two mvp, Gehrigian seasons (1983 and 1991). But defensively Ripken plays a much tougher position than Gehrig did, and he does a much better job of it at that. As durable as Lou was, he played every inning of every game for only one season...
Zimmer admits he does not know how many prisons feature those perks. But he takes the "one prison that has them is one prison too many" point of view. Advocates of prisoners rights, a beleaguered group these days, insist that few lock-up facilities offer much that could be mistaken for the good life. "All prisons are very unpleasant places,'' says Mike Mahoney, executive director of the John Howard Association, a Chicago-based prison watchdog group. They also argue that some of the cost-cutting expectations are based on a misunderstanding about who pays for some inmate comforts. According...
