...which works well with its ally, a party formed by former President Lee Teng-hui, who quit the KMT in 2000 and now supports independence. The DPP expects to win over alienated voters from the KMT's bentuhua side who are disturbed by their party's histrionic reaction to the election. "The biggest beneficiary of the election fiasco will be the DPP," predicts Tuan Yi-kang, a DPP legislator and strategist.

As a general indicator of impeccable conscientiousness in library studying, you might ask yourself if you’ve ever thought of desks in Lamont as akin to real estate—the home to such prized properties as the center-of-the-room wireless-equipped desks, otherwise known as Harvard’s own Hamptons for those in the know. All the scrabble for a window seat in that place could have an outside observer convinced the framed...
