Perhaps the most heated exchange in the pages of The Crimson this year concerned the propriety of running an ad for Harvard-Radcliffe women to pose for Playboy. Editors seemed to show concern about the exploitation of women in their arguments against printing the Playboy...

He has switched from Pepsi to Diet Pepsi, stashed away his once omnipresent...
...month before national elections, the listless Dutch Liberal Party seems likely to lose perhaps a third of its 36 seats in the 150-seat parliament. Its troubles only increased when this month's Dutch edition of Playboy hit the newsstands. The magazine showed two Liberal Party officials partying very liberally indeed. One shot shows Party Secretary Arnoud Cevaal, 37, sitting on one of the classic green benches inside the stately parliamentary assembly hall in the Hague.
