...Harvard Law School (HLS)—wrote a letter earlier this week to Congressional leaders in which they rebutted the Bush Administration’s legal case for permitting spying on American citizens. Loeb University Professor Laurence H. Tribe ’62 and Ames Professor of Law Phillip B. Heymann, a former deputy attorney general during the Clinton administration, were among the 14 signers. The letter was largely a point-by-point response to a formal defense of the domestic spying program issued by the Department of Justice and sent to Congressional leaders in late December.

"They were rough, very...
...several student groups work together. The UC, which operates the largest grant fund should follow suit. Other incentive-based systems could also be created, including expediting grants for larger groups, and creating a fund to give money to groups that merge together.Alternatively, the College could look into establishing a Phillip Brooks House Association-like umbrella organization for non-public service groups. Such an organization could consolidate overhead costs and encourage cooperation.Finally, students need to change their résumé-building and more-is-better attitudes. A large part of the reason there are so many groups is that students...
