...bigger the job, the better. At one time, Soviet scientists seriously considered changing the course of Siberia's rivers. Economists have repeatedly tried to package the country's development into neat five-year -- if not 500- day -- plans. The strategy does achieve results: Russians built the marvelous city of St. Petersburg out of a desolate, frozen swamp and launched the first satellite into space. They just have not fared as well in producing regular supplies of soap and toilet paper...
Regular Hillel diners--dinner is served sixdays a week and open to all students on the mealplan--do not fit any neat stereotypes, whether ofconcentration, of political interest, or ofgeographic origin. And dinner discussions,students say, are lively and varied...

It was a photo shot by a friend last February, just as I was about to take my first steps into Harvard. I liked the neat symbolism of it all, you know, leaving that particular picture as I prepared to take my first real steps into the University. My mom would enjoy it, because she thinks the world of me and likes it when I extend such small gestures. Kind of like the time one Mother...
