...Equal Exchange, countercultural thinking comes naturally. Employees ride bicycles and trains to pickup spots to minimize auto emissions en route to company headquarters in an industrial park in West Bridgewater. The office wing resembles a college dormitory: tapestries cover walls, posters plead for peace, an acoustic guitar sits atop the desk of Rob Everts, Dickinson's copresident and a former organizer of California farmworkers. As a matter of policy, top management earns no more than three times the salary of entry-level employees, who start at around $25,000 a year. After a probationary period, all employees own one share...
...death, as TIME observed when it was recently granted exclusive access to operations of the Air Force's 15th Reconnaissance Squadron, which commands 25 Predators from Nellis. It was 10:30 p.m. in Nevada, 9:30 a.m. in Iraq, and after two hours of watching insurgents fire a pickup-truck-mounted .50-cal. machine gun at U.S. troops in western Iraq, Rogers and the sensor operator with whom he works were given the command to shoot the truck.

Because, silly me, I hadn’t brought all my stuff with me to tailgate, I had to find a way back to my host’s dorm room to retrieve it in time to make it back to the Yale Bowl for my shuttle?...

This was no fault of Spoon’s, and they certainly managed to convey a great deal of their enjoyment to the audience. Turning around often to smile and communicate with Eno, the band members operated as a well-oiled machine, cohesive in the way bands that lack extravagant...
There is nothing wrong with celebrating the election of a new class of members to a student organization. Like countless other groups that don’t cause late night problems, fraternities and sororities can easily pickup their new members without disrupting the sleep of the rest of the campus. Just because they’ll be hung over the next day doesn’t mean we should feel their pain...
