...Kerry, will be a carbon copy of “An Inconvenient Truth” and its ilk prove to be unfounded. The book is quite different from that famed multimedia presentation of Al Gore ’69, albeit far less authoritative. It features an excellent outline of myriad environmental challenges while making a scatter-shot attempt at solutions that relies more on isolated case examples than rigorous policy proposals.While Gore’s eco-wonkishness has been well-known for decades—former President George H. W. Bush derisively called him “Ozone Man?...
...difference between John McCain's formal announcement in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, today of his candidacy for President and the myriad speeches, fund-raisers and unofficial announcements he's done over the past few months, say advisers, is now he's telling us why he wants to run.

If so, as with the elusive Fakir of Ipi, the heirs of that...
...brainchild of Thea L. Sebastian ’08, Freeze was designed to mirror the New York glossies that often captivate the eyes of the young fashionable set, its cheerful irreverence seemingly providing a welcome change from Harvard’s myriad of formidable journals. “Tis the Season for Steamy Sex,” the cover declared in sans serif font—a promise of deliciously apolitical content within. But Sebastian soon learned that a fresh and original theme could only take a new publication...
