Harvard's violation of the equal pay for equal work dictum is simply shameful. Most students, including those in Dorm Crew and dining services, support paying workers the student rate. "I don't think it's really fair," says Tim from Dorm Crew. "If students do the same type of work, they [non-students] should get the same compensation that...
...ethical case for paying workers a living wage-even if it is higher than the student rate-is more fundamental to the Harvard Living Wage Campaign. The argument hinges on what legal scholar Ronald Dworkin defines as the difference between treatment as an equal and equal treatment. Treatment as an equal mandates that Harvard regard all its community members with equal concern and respect. This does not mean that all community members are equally capable, admirable or successful. It means that all members of the community are equally important. Equal treatment, on the other hand, is the arithmetically equal distribution...
...seven places in the U.S. that you might not normally think of when you think of retirement. Our list avoids the obvious spots in Arizona and Florida, which continue to lure lots of retirees--and for good reason.

No town is perfect for everyone. Each of these places has its unique appeal, whether as a scenic escape to the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, like Newport...
...rate, the presence of Jones and Channing filled the Loeb and raised a considerable sum for the Poet’s Theatre.

...impact of his decisions, putting victims' needs first and trumpeting the rights of individuals over the state. "Like Harry Truman, Harry Blackmun really grew in office," notes TIME senior reporter Alain Sanders, who covered Blackmun during much of the Justice's career. "Early on he was viewed as second-rate, the Minnesota twin of Warren Burger," Sanders notes. "But over time he split with the Chief Justice, finding his own voice on the court." Indeed, ever an open mind, Blackmun reversed his support for capital punishment in 1994. "I shall no longer tinker with the machinery of death," he wrote...
