...themselves aren’t to blame for this zeallessness, though, but the confluence of events utterly beyond our control.Not least of which is one merely logistical in nature. Revolution Books, once a remarkable communist bookshop, has fallen from grace. It limps along aside the capitalist sneer of its neighbor, the overpriced crêperie, open only a few hours a week. How are we ‘careerists’ supposed to get our class struggle going if we can only pick up pamphlets from two to six on a Friday?James M. Larkin ’10, a Crimson...
When a new neighbor moves into Eldorado in Schleicher County, Texas (pop. 2,800), the customary welcome from the locals is a cake and an invitation to church or a community event. But residents found the newcomers distant and unresponsive to their gestures of friendship. Four years ago, posing as Utah businessmen, David Allred and a small group of companions said they had come to Eldorado to build a hunting and game preserve in what was once the Red Cheek Ranch.

Another night, he mistook a neighbor's house for his own and fell asleep in a child's bedroom. His life was a series of court dates and drug relapses. In 2000 he got caught in a hotel room with cocaine and a Wonder Woman costume. After another arrest a few months later, Downey was written out of Ally McBeal...
...heat on North Korea even more. His somewhat unlikely ally in pressuring Pyongyang is Lee Myung Bak, 66, the newly inaugurated President of South Korea. Lee, a conservative who says he wants closer ties with Washington, has vowed to take a tougher line toward his uncooperative Northern neighbor, in stark contrast to the "Sunshine Policy" Seoul has pursued for the past 10 years. This program of engagement allowed North Korea, without giving up much of anything, to gorge on a smorgasbord of South Korean aid amounting to more than $800 million in the past five years alone.
