...campus. These groups, more than politics, name, or academics, are the College’s main asset.And if, as the house utopians suggest, these are not good enough—are not real communities because they are organizations entered into and left by choice—then, to paraphrase Mrs. Thatcher, “There is no such thing as community.”Juliet S. Samuel ’09, a Crimson editorial editor, is a social studies concentrator in Eliot House...
...required texts for anyone seeking to understand film history), to hilarious German romantic comedies from the 1930s (unfortunately, turns out they’re totally pro-Nazi). “Munchhausen” is a psychedelic dreamscape of circa-1945 slapstick, and the Oscar-winning “Mrs. Miniver” will make you laugh right before you start to cry.

Mrs. Rajabi is an Ahmadinejad loyalist who has recently published a book entitled Ahmadinejad: Miracle of the Third Millennium, whose cover features the president against a backdrop of a flash of light amidst a cloudy sky. Moderates were incensed at the attack on Khatami, and lashed back, calling Mrs. Rajabi rude...
...What we've found out about Mrs. Rajabi is disturbing: that she believes Ahmadinejad is a divine miracle, that she is intolerant and linked to political groups who would govern Iran with 7th century mores. Left to our own speculation, we assumed the wives of this administration were traditional housewives, harmless women who cooked for their families and enjoyed religious rituals. A generous-hearted friend of mine even hypothesized that on the inside, they were probably not unlike us. Sure, they wear a lot more black and don't go to caf?s, she said, but deep down they probably just...
