...tickets yet, you'd better start working the phones. To the old-money types and aristocrats that once made up the bulk of the guest list, the present-day event has been diminished by the inclusion of pop singers, politicians, movie stars and even (shock, horror) the odd porn actress. A ban on smoking, instituted at the 2004 ball, has been another blow to the faithful, as has the introduction of contemporary music (nowadays you can boogie and salsa in addition to waltz).

...friends have maintained the excellent “Cambridge Common” (cambridgecommon.blogspot.com) since last April.But the close-to-home election demonstrated quite nicely the various mechanisms by which blogs influence public opinion. One of those to be sure is timeliness: blogs, unlike the Crimson, update continuously, even at odd hours of the night when both their authors and readers are putting off writing papers. Another factor is simple pluralism: unlike the world at large, Harvard has (by the most generous count) two newspapers, one of which has a publishing cycle longer than the campaign itself.Before I pat the back...
