...lengthy e-mail from an avid Crimson reader disrupted an otherwise pleasant Wednesday morning: “Tell you what, Hasan,” it began, “make it so that my relatives and friends in Israel can go about their daily affairs without getting blown to bits by your brethren and I’ll support every protest you conduct to get rid of checkpoints and punish Israeli soldiers who abuse Palestinians...
...just as the reader thinks hey, maybe Clinton wasn't so bad after all, Monica raises her beret-clad head. For a moment, Klein indulges Clinton's blame shifting, pointing to the capital's investigatory madness and scandal-mongering press. (As Anonymous, he could empathize.)

Most are of the "I loved this story!" and "Great ending!" variety. Not exactly the same level of feedback...
...page that tells women to “forget about covering up. Wear what you like and what makes you feel good—even if it’s kind of bright and kind of tight.” A magazine is trying to get both the avid reader and the casual peruser interested in buying the merchandise. Thin is in, and unfortunately, until that changes, the photographers and designers are going to accentuate what some women wish they looked like instead of what they really do. It’s the same old catch: if I buy that...
