...lines than by Daniel's progressive preaching. "If temptation corners us," he says in a sermon after Grace's arrest, "maybe we shouldn't beat ourselves up for giving in to it." His is an easy-listening, baby-boomer ministry, not so much fire and brimstone as Fire and Rain. Of course, Daniel is a priest in a liberal church; American Episcopalians have even ordained a gay bishop, to the consternation of conservative members and the church's overseas counterparts. (The church has had no comment on Daniel so far.) So it's plausible that he would accept...
...Christmas renovations as soon as possible after we return from our long winter’s naps. Our wishlist:Ten: Fix the carwash outside of Canaday. Astronomer or Aston-Martin? ESPP or BMW? Students making their daily treks to the Science Center or Memorial Hall after a heavy rain are treated to a real, live wash down without the hand-toweling or the Turtle Wax.

All seemed well, and then the College had to go and rain on everyone’s parade by revealing just how they envisioned redesigning the space. To make a long story short, organizations—including those to whom secrecy is paramount, like The Harvard Salient—would have to content themselves with cubicles partitioned by curtains, instead of the office space of their dreams (think walls and doors...
...latest album, Lindsay Lohan informs us that she was not only “born a fighter,” but that she was “born on a rainy day” to boot. Oh Lindsay, we feel your pain (and your rain). Please tell us more…possibly in album form? Lohan’s sophomore effort promise to be more introspective than her first in its very title: “A Little More Personal (RAW).” If this truly is Lindsay Lohan “raw,” she should have...
