After his grudging public apology for the behavior of U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison, George W. Bush attended a ceremony commemorating the National Day of Prayer. His remarks there were, as we have come to expect from this President, a stirring mix of humility and certainty. "God is not on the side of any nation, yet we know He is on the side of justice," Bush said. "Our finest moments [as a nation] have come when we have faithfully served the cause of justice for our own citizens, and for the people of other lands...
...hard work. Take Mike Skinner, the latest Voice of a Generation, British division. Known as The Streets when he's making music, Skinner, 24, is remarkably industrious. He started work on his second album as soon as he finished the first: Original Pirate Material, an effortless mix of U.K. garage, hip-hop and dance beats that burst Skinner out of his bedroom two years ago, sold more than a million copies worldwide, made the U.S. Top 30 and moved Rolling Stone to declare "British hip-hop" no longer an oxymoron.

But I don’t want to pigeonhole this story as just an “AIDS” issue. Think of it as the ultimate Bush administration case study: an inside look at how a cynical White House policy...
Foam parties are a delectable mix between the blissful naivete of a bubble bath and a scandalous romp in a red-light nightclub. Last weekend’s Mather Lather strived valiantly for this tenuous balance, but unfortunately, or, perhaps fortunately, its mix was light on suds and heavy on scantily clad. While it is refreshing, and, depending on your standards, stimulating, to see Harvard boys and girls strip off their inhibitions and get a little wild, the regimented environment and lack of foam depressed much of the crowd. In an effort to move beyond the stilted Harvard scene...
