...already in place before December—former Crimson columnist Andrew Golis and a few of his 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...
...Yeah, this is a personal opinion. We need to [consider] what the public perceives FEMA's role should have been and what statutorily FEMA's role is. Their protocol for a disaster is that locals go to the states, states go to the Federal government, and they bring resources in.

The author’s senseless statement reflects a larger-scale obliviousness to the importance of minority representation, whether that minority be economic, racial, sexual, or, in this particular situation, geographic...
...understand the existing architectural limits of the space, but it is clear that the College’s architects had nearly completed their plans for the fourth floor before last Wednesday’s powwow with students. This is not to say that the College has entirely neglected student opinion on Hilles in the past; the QRAC/Hilles Space Committee held four student focus groups in the 2003-04 school year. But there seems to have been little formal effort to solicit student input between the final engineering and funding approval and the creation of rather firm architectural proposals.Finally, students cannot...
