Senator McCain is not perfect. He seems to revel in the media’s glare. A good author could even make a case for hypocrisy after his opportunistic flipflop over ethanol to help his bid in the Iowa straw poll. Certainly his immediate dismissal of the Iraq Study Group report could be called into question. There are opinion pieces critical of Senator McCain that are well written and well researched. This opinion piece is neither...
...know what you’re thinking. We pay a king’s ransom to attend Harvard, in part so that we can learn from the most accomplished scholars on Earth. We travel here from across the globe to revel in their magnificence, and, by osmosis, to try to take some of their wisdom with us when we depart to better serve our country and McKinsey...
...Seven Up! was agenda journalism.

Sort of like bible camp. The irony of the situation is, well, sort of hilarious. So, revel in the humor and know that field ± sporting event + alcohol + defiant community = fun. The utter absence of Yale students means more alcohol for Harvard students and fewer pranks that nobody notices. (It’s like the mime in a forest question. If a prank happens...
