...Jesus. But even the Gospels tell us that Jesus doubted on the Cross, asking why his own father seemed to have abandoned him. The mystery that Christians are asked to embrace is not that Jesus was God but that he was God-made-man, which is to say, prone to the feelings and doubts and joys and agonies of being human. Jesus himself seemed to make a point of that. He taught in parables rather than in abstract theories. He told stories. He had friends. He got to places late; he misread the actions of others; he wept; he felt...
...Capitol Hill after the e-mails were aired Thursday night on the ABC evening news. And a big reason for his abrupt exit, say Florida pundits, is that Foley, 52, was staring at the elements of a perfect political storm that not even a candidate from a hurricane-prone state could withstand in today's nasty election climate: not only possible accusations of pedophilia, but also the possible stain of gross hypocrisy, given Foley's high-profile legislative crusade against child sex offenders.

Of course, if you are struggling to put food on the table, that generates very different survival fears...
...concentrators to indecisive history buffs. That’s right: in Sociology, you’re exempt from QR! (If you don’t yet see why this is a good thing, please turn to page 8). Harvard has many social sciences to choose from and for those prone to dabbling, Sociology is an all-you-can-eat buffet. Housed on the 5th and 6th floors of William James Hall, the department is smaller than most of the other social sciences.  Trekking to the massive phallic symbol, inconveniently located on Kirkland Street, can be hell...
