...turns out all that paranoia may have been for naught: According to two studies released this week, there does not appear to be any direct causative link between cell phone use and the development of brain tumors - no matter how extensive the phone use may be. "We found that regardless of how frequently the phones were used per month or how many years the phones were used, there wasn't any relationship with the development of brain cancer," Joshua Muscat, chief author of the study, said Wednesday. The first report, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association...
Highly charged and unsubstantiated rhetoric is misplaced in any reasoned discussion of rape at Harvard, for it abstracts a very important issue into so much public hysteria and paranoia. Of little help to rape victims themselves, it only serves to brand our population of young men--most of whom are not brutes and cads--with undue suspicion...
...memory of the last five hours blank and their campsite, not to mention the movie, in complete disarray. The rest of the film degenerates into nonsensical hocus pocus as the rattled group retreats to Jeff's abandoned-factory-turned-electronic-haven and, one-by-one, succumb to delusion and paranoia. By this point, BW2 has long since abandoned any perceptible connection with its predecessor and has become closer in spirit to Sam Raimi's blood-spattered cult classic Evil Dead, minus the kinetic over-the-top flair that made that film such a guilty pleasure...

This weekend Harvard students should have the unique opportunity to show off our fair campus to our visiting friends and opponents. Instead, we'll most likely be sitting silently in our rooms even earlier than usual, victims of the administration's unwarranted paranoia. It's unlikely that students, if left to their own devices, would let parties get out of hand given the fact that we're in the middle of midterms. And our friends from other schools aren't any more likely to come this weekend than any other. Frankly, Head of the Charles simply isn't the enormous...
