...general,” she professes optimistically. Harris envisions that open punch could spread to Harvard’s final clubs as well, eliminating at least one element of the exclusivity that isolates them from the rest of campus. Logistical constraints make many club members skeptical about the prospect of such change, but if it ever came about, it would meaningfully alter the composition of the clubs and the way they are perceived by outsiders—something worth getting excited about...
...expected Obama to campaign for him. "I don't know whether he would and I don't know whether we would ask. At this point, it is an open question," Blumenthal told students at Yale University in New Haven. Last month, red-state Republican operatives sounded giddy about the prospect of an Obama visit.

Life will deal him a hard blow for not compromising with those in charge, but he?...
...President is ignoring a much fresher debate: between theory and reality. Even if Obama were correct that a nuclear rebirth is needed to address the climate crisis - and he isn't correct - the fact is that the rebirth isn't happening. Despite the prospect of new taxpayer guarantees - and the cradle-to-grave subsidies that already support this 50-year-old industry at the federal and state level - utilities keep scrapping or delaying plans for new reactors...
