...hope that his mixed-race freshness carries a broader political originality. And, in fact, he does embody something that no other presidential candidate possibly can: the idealism that race is but a negligible human difference. Here is the radicalism, innate to his pedigree, which automatically casts him as the perfect antidote to America's exhausted racial politics. This is the radicalism by which Martin Luther King Jr. put Americans in touch--if only briefly--with their human universality. Barack Obama is the progeny of this idealism. As such, he is a living rebuke to both racism and racialism, to both...
...Obama's candidacy are clearly greater than its public policy implications. While Obama the man labors in the same political vineyard as his competitors, mapping out policy positions on everything from war to health care, his candidacy itself asks the American democracy to complete itself, to achieve that almost perfect transparency in which color is indeed no veil over character--where a black, like a white, can put himself forward as the individual he truly is.

...like a latter-day Bismarck, possessing the diplomacy and guile needed for dealing with the stubborn Prussian aristocracy (administration) and catering to the landless workers (students) through progressive social reforms (heavy drinking). Leo will use his superior judgment to supplement Frances’s fiery emotional rule, achieving a perfect equilibrium of well-reasoned policy and absolute totalitarianism. Together, I believe that these two candidates comprise the ultimate ticket, a golden ticket, if you will, to University President Drew G. Faust’s kooky factory of poor student relations known as the Harvard College Administration...
...fell short, the women picked up the slack. Facing lighter competition from still-developing BC, MIT, and Brandeis, each weapon rose to the occasion. The foil fencing trio of Misha Goldfeder, Arielle Pensler, and Anna Podolsky showed they are rookies no more, starting off their sophomore season with a perfect 27-0 day, and proving they will be a force to be reckoned with in the Ivy League. “The matchup was just better for us against the women,” Brand said. “MIT, BC, and Brandeis’ women are much weaker...
