What is holding these marriages together? We can probably assume elected officials aren’t simply more loving than the rest of us. The answer appears to be found instead in the realm of public image and power. Recent examples of resilient political couplings are not hard to find. Idaho Senator Larry Craig’s wife stood by him while he was accused of soliciting sex in an airport men’s restroom. More recently, Silda Wall Spitzer was there for her husband (and the press conference cameras) while he resigned as New York?...

...nagging perhaps could be ignored if larger problems did not go hand-in-hand with the Science. By telling people what they should do, the science leaves the realm of impartial epistemological observation and enters the tumultuous space of morals and values. In this arena, science can be twisted to meet political ends and becomes embroiled in a cultural fight. The intelligent design movement uses the guise of science to promote a religious end. Both the Bush White House and Al Gore abuse science to promote environmental and economic policies. Facts become distorted; contradicting data is conveniently unmentioned; and people?...

...University’s expansion into Allston. The agreement, which outlines how Harvard will spend nearly $25 million on benefits to the neighborhood, is a legally-binding document.

Gordon. Gordon, who signed the final...

...proliferation of Cabinet-level positions has been most pronounced in the realm of domestic policy, as various Presidents have tried to telegraph their seriousness about various issues by giving them their own departments. But the existence of the Department of Energy hasn't given America a coherent energy policy; it's just given the rest of the government an excuse to ignore energy policy, while giving energy industries a good target to focus their lobbying efforts. Same goes for the Department of Education; sure, it guarantees education a "seat at the table," but it's an irrelevant table...

...Commons. The fun czars since have been the College-wide social coordinators, involved in planning campus-wide events, as well as smaller house events that require funding and resources that students cannot provide. These efforts are admirable, and the events themselves are exciting, entertaining, and above all, beyond the realm of what undergraduates can plan themselves. Events like karaoke or sing-alongs, however, do not exactly enliven the social scene at Harvard. The College does not lack wholesome activities in the line of sing-alongs or afternoon fun—undergraduates can easily engage in such activities without the help...
