I do not think The Crimson truly feels that its decision to publish "The Invasion" shows either of these qualities...
...sprightly website, comes out daily, hourly--it is TIME all the time. Rick Stengel, the editor of time.com likes to say our website is a gene spliced from the magazine and then grown in a new environment.

What university pundits have anointed this pair the front-runners? I am not suggesting that their whole candidacies are no more than your newspaper's idle speculation; but The Crimson ought to explain to its readership its reasons behind what might otherwise be considered a blas assertion--one that, while perhaps obvious to editors and reporters, is by no means so to the rest...
