...campus—from inclusive events that challenge the status quo to activism that changes the course of our nation’s history. Being a conservative is absolutely not about “conserving what cannot be conserved” or lying there to wait for things to revert back to the way it was in the past. In the last four years alone, as president of Right to Life and of the Republican Club, I have witnessed the transformation of the campus conservative movement to a more dynamic, diverse, and welcoming force. We are fighting for pregnancy...
...sting. In May last year, resigned to Mambo's dwindling sales and street cred, Gazal announced it was offloading the brand, which a private consortium snapped up in January for about a third of what Gazal had paid for it eight years before.

Indeed, decreased Western consumer demand will dent China's economy as well as that of any that relies on exports. But the free-market autocrats stand in far better shape than the rest of the world. With their massive cash reserves, current-account surpluses and, often, capital controls, countries like China can better weather a downturn (China probably...
...although the swim test is no longer in force, Harvard ought not consign itself indefinitely to an educational regime that administers only to the mind. For Harvard to produce once again well-rounded individuals, of strong character as well as strong minds, it would do well to revert to an older conception of moral education—of which the discipline, endurance, and sportsmanship provided by required physical exercise is a crucial component...
