...community must be a tolerant and supportive one, characterized by civility and consideration for others.” And for the most part, I have found it to be that way. Yet, when the Salient printed its ad, I was reminded that discrimination and harassment do indeed rear their ugly heads at Harvard. One of the hardest things about being a minority is dealing with the pervasive stereotypes to which others subscribe. I have had to deal with this my whole life as a Muslim American. In order to combat these stereotypes, I have always striven to engage in dialogue...

...roomy as a suburb, even if the exterior design fails to excite. TIME's backseat test passenger--all 6 ft. 8 in. of him--hadn't had that much room in a car since he was 10 years younger and a foot shorter. And there's an optional rear roof window, adding to the roomy, open feeling. You can even raise the car's height to suit your driving style--sport or comfort--although the difference wasn't all that notable...

...Enter the Solstice, a vehicle that, at first glance, ought to sell itself. Luxuriantly curvaceous, its standout design feature is a broad hood and front end that slope gracefully down. The rear is compact, musclebound and squat, accentuated by sculpted fairings behind the seats. The overall profile conveys a neat blend of attitude: a little daring, just shy of being menacing.

With a starting price around $20,000 the Solstice is the cheapest roadster on the market (a hair under...

...Solstice's curb-appeal loses its luster once you take the car for a spin. Like many a roadster it is shamelessly impractical. Drivers under 6 ft. may feel visually challenged, since one sits a few inches above ground and Pontiac skimped on a height-adjuster for the seats. Rear visibility is fine with the roof down, but when it's up the glass rear window provides minimal views. The cockpit feels sports-car Spartan; our test car featured a two-tone "sand-and-steel, " design scheme, with a five-speed manual shifter (don't ask for an automatic, Pontiac...

...zero-to-60 in 7.2 seconds. But the engine feels inadequate at highway speeds. Flooring the throttle at 60 m.p.h. in 5th gear produced not a roar but a gentle puff of speed-embarrassing in a car with pretenses to sprightliness. While the vehicle cornered adequately, thanks to the rear-wheel architecture, it did not feel nimble. Perhaps that won't be a deal-killer to most folks. But if you crave speed in your roadster, the Solstice is better admired than driven...
