Ever wish your English prof would cut down on that dreaded work load? Reid Professor of English and American Literature Philip J. Fisher did just that last month: in a competition inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s famous short story, “For sale: baby shoes, never worn,” students in his class, “English 178x: The American Novel: Dreiser to the Present” were allowed exactly six words to write a story—plot, characters, conclusion, and all. The competition, proposed by a student in the class, mimicked a similar online...
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid rarely gets questions about his Mormonism, and Romney has tried deflect them by focusing on the broad principles of his faith, as well as family values and traditional marriage. A writer for the Atlantic Monthly asked Romney last year if he wears Temple Garments--white underclothing, with the "Marks of the Holy Priesthood" sewn in, donned with reverence by the most faithful Mormons.

Harry Reid called for a bipartisan summit on the issue, saying "The President must listen and work with Democrats to fix his failed policy." But in the end, what appears to have mattered most was Congress' own behavior. Fully 74% of voters surveyed in exit polls ranked corruption and ethics as important...
...that level of savvy could come in especially handy now that Repubicans must adjust to their minority status. Along with newly elected Minority Leader Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lott could spell problems for incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who stands nine votes short of what he needs to get anything controversial passed. Lott is more conservative and partisan than his opponent, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, which could signal more polarization and less cooperation in the Senate; in other words, the post-election talk of putting partisanship aside and getting the people's business done may be short-lived...
