Quite frankly, the journalistic integrity of The Crimson should be questioned when you must resort to publishing inaccuracies (for example, you erroneously reported the hotel bill as having been paid at the full amount when, in fact, this expense is still under negotiation), making midnight phone calls, as well as exaggerating the internal political workings of one of the largest, most effective, and most ethnically, racially and sexually non-biased organizations on campus under the guise of news reporting. In the process, not only did you subject the reputations of outstanding student leaders to undue abuse, but you also exacerbated...
...hospital is modern and well managed, as close to a first-class resort as a poor person is ever likely to encounter. The other patients-comic in some instances, tragic in others-are all helpful in drawing her out of her anxious reserve.

Pointing a stubby finger of alarm, Meany warned that unless someone...
...played the down-to-earth Aristotle to Shakespeare's Plato, attacking anyone who deviated from his golden mean. This kind of stance can reduce the energy level of a work of art--how vituperative can you be when you're defending moderation?--but Jonson surmounted this difficulty by resort to strong satirical invective and a life-giving dose of four-letter words...
