...since the end of World War II. They aren't jet-setting royals who play on the beaches of the Riviera or date dashing polo players. They don't have brushes with the law or tattle on one another in the tabloids. They hike in the mountains, ice-skate, pray at temples and cut ribbons at children's hospitals. Naruhito seems like a nice, serious guy, but he doesn't exactly set young girls' hearts aswooning. There was hope that Masako would rattle the gilded cages, but she has faded into royal anonymity.

And we pray for the safety of tens of thousands of loyal Harvard fans who will descend upon New Haven, braving the crack dealers, prostitutes and other prestigious Yale alumni to cheer on their undefeated team...
Ashraf recalls a talk last April with John A. Hulsey 03-04, then a Mather sophomore, where they both expressed concern that the House community did not provide space to pray, reflect, meditate or generally relax. Ashraf also heard from students who pointed out the lack of options for people who are unsure about their ties to organized religions and would feel uncomfortable praying at Memorial Church.
