...have enough credit-card debt, this year Uncle Sam will begin accepting plastic from those who owe tax come April 15. Charging your taxes may be a nifty way to rack up frequent-flyer miles, and for some 30 million electronic filers it's a convenient way to complete a paperless tax return. For Uncle, it's certainly a convenient way to shift the burden of collection.

...said so far have pertained to the loud, dark, sweaty type of Harvard party. For the other type of classy party, where friends get together and perhaps go out for dinner, celebrate a birthday, a new job or another of the many achievements that Harvard students are prone to rack up, you should cc the list. Be sure to talk to the people attending the party so that each invitee knows what they are getting into. That way, if there are concerns say, about warring factions of the Undergraduate Council (wait, we have a student government?) attending the same function...
