...pamphlet door-dropped en masse last moth by the Harvard-Radcliffe Alliance for Life was a healthy but disturbing episode in campus life. We are pleased to see vigorous debate and excited commentary at Harvard so that this bastion of intellectuals does not become petrified while studying in Widener's stacks. It is also pleasing to note the Alliance's editorial independence from the student publications, specifically The Harvard Salient and Peninsula. The Crimson always welcomes another voice on campus. That said, we would like to evaluate the "She's a Child--Not a Choice" brochure on its primary claim...
...dollar "Star Wars" system, championed by Ronald Reagan, was derided by Democrats and eventually abandoned by most Republicans as too costly and ineffective. But it lives on in the hearts of defense contractors. "In fact, Star Wars never died," says TIME's Mark Thompson.

But Zipkin's greatest coup was his relationship with Nancy Reagan. He was with the First Family on the night they captured that title; in the following years, Mrs. Reagan dished and danced with Zipkin so regularly that...
...shining anymore." When Slaughter strides on stage in Redfern's proper Burberry-ish getup, we see that Jimmy could't be more accurate. And Redfern's grab, impeccable down to the polished black shoes, makes Alison, Jimmy, and Cliff's miserable fallen hems and moth-holes all the more noticeable...
