These dead men’s great names present somewhat of a burden to the journalist, just as the name “Harvard” might pressure a freshman to study hard and join 17 extracurricular activities (and 23 more email lists). Certainly, each writer’s most famous accomplishments are worth writing about, but what about the fascinating, lesser known ones? What about Zinn’s plays, Salinger’s book that was made into a movie—"Foolish Heart"—and the novel that Auchincloss wrote while still at Yale...
...addition, Ford workers balked at changes that were pushed in the name of greater efficiency at an assembly plant in Kansas City, Mo. The problems were resolved, according to a Ford spokeswoman. But union members say the tension remains. Ford workers also protested plans to give merit-pay increases (which go against the collective-bargaining ethos). Instead, Ford agreed that workers would receive a share of the company's 2009 profits. The payments average $250 per employee for each of Ford's 41,000 workers.

Sometime during the semester, however, this practice of shameless self-introduction and curious inquiry ceases. It is nonsensical for us to terminate generic introductions so soon, which means it is time for the four-point introduction to make a comeback...
...name may resemble the Andy Griffith Show, but Randi Griffin’s performance against No. 6 Clarkson (20-9-5, 14-5-3 ECAC) was no laughing matter. The Harvard senior neutralized the Golden Knights’ three goals with a hat trick of her own in a 3-3 tie at Cheel Arena, turning a showdown between ECAC powers into a one-woman show...
