Botterill, who scored the goal that clinched the Crimson’s national championship in 1999, and Shewchuk—Harvard’s all-time leading career scorer—have dismissed the notion propagated by the national media that the Americans’ perfect 8-0 record against Canada in pre-Olympic exhibitions makes them a clear gold medal favorite...
...down on the volume of honors graduates would be to eliminate entirely the classification of non-departmental honors. Raising the bar for an honors degree in general studies from a B to a grossly inflated B-plus or A-minus average would solve virtually nothing. The notion that students who, for whatever reason, choose not to participate in their department’s honors track should still be rewarded with an honors degree is faintly risible. At a time when the college is justifiably scrutinized for its controversial grading policies, the administration should do all it can to shore...
...support to Bush as far back as April 1997, five months before he was hired at Enron. "I was always going to be with him," Reed told TIME.

He also dismissed any notion that the Bush campaign had to keep him at a safe distance, citing dozens of campaign and TV appearances as evidence to the contrary...
...Palais de Tokyo's approach: it's fake. The works on display are all in keeping with the bogus trash aesthetic.

American Naomi Fisher photographs herself doggy...
...both the Euro and the residents of “Euroland” are rather less rosy than political leaders would have us believe. The struggle to set appropriate interest rates across an entire continent with extraordinarily divergent economic conditions may well prove to be an insurmountable challenge. The notion that a single interest rate could be appropriate for both Germany, which finds itself mired in a deep recession, and an Irish economy that seems on the verge of overheating is fundamentally naive. The choice of which countries’ economies to support is a daunting and unrewarding...
