...answer is basic and profound. By focusing on what their customers want instead of what's good for the Craigslist brand, Newmark and Buckmaster are beating the online giants at their own game. Using only open-source software and a plain-text site without fancy logos or graphics, Craigslist is supremely efficient. "Virtually no users are requesting that we dress the site up," Buckmaster explains. As a result, the site runs 1 billion page views a month--as many as Amazon.com--with just 14 employees. Instead of doing market research to plot strategy, Newmark and Buckmaster rely on customer feedback...
Furthermore, certain issues and events that have had profound effects on certain ethnic groups have gone uncovered because people on The Crimson’s staff had a different perspective on their magnitude. Such a situation occurred last year when the Latino and Latin American show Presencia Latina did not receive sufficient coverage in The Crimson. The President of Fuerza, Felipe Tewes, labeled the show, which included a tremendous amount of involvement by Latino students and faculty, as the biggest of its kind in Harvard’s history.

At a meeting with Democratic and G.O.P. lawmakers wary about voting for the Iraq-war resolution, the President, according to a Republican Senator, walked in and said, "Look, I want your vote. I'm not going to debate it with you." When one of the Senators...
Though feisty and outspoken in person, Dr. Kubler-Ross wrote with a voice that was both soothing and gently authoritative. Few books have had as profound an effect on public dialogue as did her 1969 blockbuster, On Death and Dying, written at a time when the topic was rarely discussed in public and studiously avoided at the bedside. Fear not, she reassured the tens of millions who would read and then quote her teachings: the human mind has the wondrous capacity to prepare itself for dying, by a progressive series of five steps--denial, anger, bargaining, depression and, finally, acceptance...
