...hysterics—will fade, with no new freshmen to prompt those memories of my own freshman year.And this makes me sad, because I really do love this place. For me, it’s not just Annenberg, or the sweep of the New Yard, or all the other obvious things to love about Harvard. What really gets me are the subtleties that I didn’t notice for a few years. I love the look on the soldiers’ faces in “The Coming of the Americans” in Widener, and how fresh...
...inherent drawback of self-reporting is the tendency for respondents to simply lie about their illicit drug use, for obvious reasons. To address this problem, SAMHSA introduced hand-held computer modules in 1999, eliminating the need for a government mediator to administer the survey face-to-face. To encourage better response rates, the agency began offering a $30 cash incentive. More recently, a new challenge has arisen: as the number of Spanish-speaking Americans continues to grow, officials face problems in translation. Certain Spanish words mean different things to Puerto Ricans than they do to Cubans or Mexicans, according...
...choosy enough to want a halfway decent Core class, the pickings are even slimmer: of the five “Science A” courses offered this semester, the highest CUE rating is a 3.7; there are no courses in the spring that do any better.

...totally repudiate," he said. "Whatever the reason, I was wrong for not disagreeing with the President ... I don't ever recall having those feelings about any group, especially the Jews, and I certainly do not have them now." When we asked Graham about the conversation, his shame was obvious, and he confessed to the other fault at work that day - his sycophancy, the courtier's habit of trying to win favor with the king by embracing even his most odious ideas. "I think I was just trying to agree with what he said or something," Graham told us. Hitchens...
Maybe there’s no reliable way to choose courses—the process doesn’t invite statistical modeling—but that doesn’t mean we should continue to choose the least convenient way. The logistical benefits of preregistration are obvious: no book shortages at the Coop, no last-minute room changes, no week of class wasted. And much of the faculty remains skeptical of the benefits of shopping, which makes it harder to plan for classes by hiring the correct number of TFs, scheduling sections, and getting in touch with students...
