Recently, my e-mail account has been disappointing me. Long ago, I used to open my account to delight in the announcement that I had 17 new messages. Never mind that the vast majority of these were from people harassing me to help them redesign biological weapons for their student organizations, or from people I hadn't talked to in months forwarding me lists of the top 10 Mensa pick-up lines. Damn it, I felt loved. But alas, all that has changed. Now, a giant sucking sound is apparently echoing across Harvard's servers as a growing segment...
...Coop more friendly to the student population. First, the store needs more comfortable seating. Book superstores around the country provide shoppers soft chairs and couches and ample space to sprawl on the carpet, bridging the gap between bookstore and living room-a fact the Coop seemingly ignored in the redesign.

...Trent Lott and some bipartisan Senators want to redesign the Senate chamber [NOTEBOOK, Sept. 8]. This would be the biggest government money pit since the construction of the Rayburn Building. The idea of putting up something that is "tasteful, historically appropriate and...television-friendly" will give way to things that are gold plated and unnecessary. The cost will easily hit $20 million because when Senators are doing for themselves, they just can't stop. I would much rather the public revolt and rip out the seats and air conditioning from both chambers. Uncomfortable legislators just might get the people...
