...American Studies Professor J. Lorand Matory ’82, who chairs Duke University’s Department of African and African-American Studies, said that Sullivan is “warm, friendly, open, and accustomed to dealing with many types of people,” and is thus popular among his colleagues. Matory added that it was “important” to integrate Harvard’s graduate schools with the College population.“I think lawyers serving as our new House Masters will let us sleep even more soundly at night...
Dining Hall: Revealed preferences. There's a reason everyone wants to eat in Quincy. Its proximity to the yard, sensible servery, and its bright and open feel make it one of the most popular dining spots on campus. The floor-to-ceiling windows satisfy naturalists and voyeurs alike. But severe overcrowding during peak hours, coupled with the unattractive and indecipherable mural (unlike Leverett, you actually can forget that its there), keep it from entering the dining hall pantheon with Dunster. Just a few weeks ago, the People’s House finally lowered the iron curtain, and purged...
...Moussavi's appeal lies in the fact that was a popular Prime Minister during the Iran-Iraq war, and is credited with having done a good job managing the nation through some of its most trying economic times.

Rivera and his equally dashing brother Cayetano, also a bullfighter, have modeled for Armani, hawked high-end watches, appeared in the pages of Vogue and been featured on the American news program 60 Minutes. They have also tended toward prominent matches...
...Funes, who was a popular on-air reporter for CNN en Español before entering politics, those challenges could prove as daunting as waging war against a U.S.-backed government was for his FMLN forebears. It's still not clear how ready ARENA and its more hard-line backers are to accept Funes' narrow victory of 51% to Avila's 49%. But Avila's prompt concession was an encouraging sign that El Salvador will probably avoid unrest. And it was just as encouraging a signal that the country may have completed its evolution from a 20th century "tomb...
