...deals handled by fewer banks. The dotcoms aren't coming back yet." - By William Boston Unseasonal Greetings For U.S. oil-services firm Halliburton, 2003 carried a sting in its tail. Amid recent allegations that it overcharged U.S. tax payers by $61 million for its services, Halliburton unit Kellogg Brown & Root last week lost its 10-month-old deal to supply Iraq with fuel: the Pentagon's Defense Energy Support Center will re-open contract bids early this year.

The only discernible difference between the two parties is the crude machine guns used by the modernizers and the bows and arrows of the traditionalists. No political persecution or suffering is ever mentioned, and it?...
...proofing FM, I didn’t want to let my love for the paper gloss over the dirty details of the past three years at 14 Plympton St. But I think those harrowing what-if-I-just-snuck-out-the-side-door FM proofer moments are exactly the root of my sentimentality about The Crimson. Those moments of extreme sacrifice are a main component of what has made The Crimson worth the slip in my grades and worth not seeing my roommates for days at a time. While I am proud of being a part of what I consider...
