Students can easily register for local elections in Cambridge and switch back to their home state to vote for other offices. Only paperwork stands between students and their vote. Harvard’s varied student groups that focus on politics should encourage student participation in local elections, and the College should provide Cambridge voting information in students’ fall registration packets. Harvard students spend nine months of the year in this city. It’s time that students exercise their rights in Cambridge voting booths...
Although most American CSAs grow pesticide-free crops, many are not certified organic under federal standards; the paperwork is too cumbersome.

"Life is good," he says, sitting at a wooden conference table, holding an antique specimen jar of chattering-teeth hand puppets...
...SIGNS OF THE TIMES The Trial Of Bureaucracy In the land of Kafka, one small village is fighting back against ubiquitous, omnipotent bureaucracy. Provoked by a steep rise in paperwork in recent years, the Bohemian hamlet of Jindrichovice pod Smrkem (pop. 630) has declared itself out of bounds to all uninvited employees of the Czech central government and its various subsidiaries. Signs at entrances to the village and its train station depict the crossed-out pictogram of a civil servant...
