...concentrated under the auspices of any single force. Google Book Search really does not change the game. It merely translates the outdated paradigm of musty tomes and card catalogs to the internet age. The library we want is not a public library funded by the government or a benevolent nonprofit, but rather a decentralized network of peer-to-peer sharing, with works freely copied, perhaps even illegally copied. So file your objections, bibliophiles! For the sake of libraries, for the sake of books, for freedom’s sake.—Staff Writer Sanders I. Bernstein can be reached...

Simon's executive summary: "You can't argue with those kinds of numbers ... especially when you consider the power of the arts to educate, energize and bring people together...
...workers and Harvard is not any different. “I think this is misled,” says SLAM member Remeike J.B. Forbes ’11. “It’s kind of peculiar to see Harvard as analogous to GM, because Harvard is a nonprofit institution. When GM lays off workers they also decrease in production as well. Harvard is not a for-profit institution, its purpose is to serve a public good.” According to Taj E. Tucker ’12, a protester at SLAM’s recent rally...
