...Often, the lack of a comp is a deliberate decision, a reaction to the Big Three’s notoriously long and sometimes grueling try-out processes. “The general feeling with us is that the comp process is rather sadistic. [It] makes things too regimented,” says Tim R. Hwang ‘08, who would be executive president of Present! if such a title existed. “The only requirement is to find...
...Gaza, militants passed out flowers and candy at street corners to celebrate what one militant leader described as "the heroic act" at Dimona.

She is cold and calculating, and I'm sure in future months we will see the real lady come to the fore, the one who will take no prisoners...
...gift of life, but organ transplants have always been plagued by a painful irony; as desperately as an ailing body needs a healthy organ to replace a faltering one, it often ends up rejecting the priceless replacement part. Decades of research have led to improved drugs to reduce this reaction, but these agents have to be taken for a lifetime and are often difficult to tolerate, leading to higher risks of both infection and cancer...
