...Harvard Advocate, founded in 1866, boasts the distinction of being the nation’s “oldest continuously published college literary magazine.” Along with similarly historic student-run publications such as The Harvard Crimson and The Harvard Lampoon, the Advocate has proven its tenacious staying power.

Although military technology will never prevent the loss of life entirely, purchasing better equipment could make it more likely that any future wartime sacrifice would be paid...
