...have separate student groups for individual ethnicities, we find that “Asian American” on campus refers most readily to the Far East. For example, the executive board of the Asian American Association is made up of fourteen Chinese, two Korean, and one Vietnamese. An odd dynamic can be observed in that South Asians here do not readily identify with Asian America at large; instead, they tend to congregate in separate student groups...
...imported candies that put your $0.99 bag of CVS candy corn to shame, Cardullo’s Gourmet Shoppe doesn’t seem like a traditional hangout for home-grown Red Sox fans.

Twenty-odd square patrons huddled around the 42-inch flat screen in Cardullo’s front window last Tuesday for the first game of the postseason.

During the Bush Administration's first six years, the Republican Congress provided little oversight and less reform. Meanwhile, federal spending on private contractors nearly doubled, with military contractors being the biggest winners. TheU.S. now has more private contractors than troops in Iraq. Blackwater's federal workload has grown from $204,000 to nearly $600 million since 2000. You could call it Halliburton with guns, except Halliburton has some guns...
