After the recent release of the University’s Library Task Force Report, some humanities professors and graduate students have expressed concern over the document’s suggestion that the Harvard University library system may need to limit future expansion...
Perhaps the greatest tragedy, however, is the toll that this year’s election has taken on the UC’s image, already significantly diminished by other recent ventures such as last semester’s consideration of 45 Mount Auburn Street as a viable solution to the social space problem. We recognize that neither the UC nor its representatives directly caused the chaos surrounding this year’s election and that blame largely lies with the Election Commission. Moreover, the UC as a whole should be separated from the e-mail signed by McLeod...
...defending the agency's turf from Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair. The mood at Langley has always been difficult to measure, since insiders are not allowed to speak to the media.

(Recent levels: 2150-2200.) The economy went into a recession that now seems laughably mild. What followed wasn't funny at all: the most divisive and confusing presidential election in history, a discombobulated drama that we once thought could occur only in the Third World...
