Pappin can whine all he wants, but we welcome the media onslaught. The Salient, Harvard’s token conservative paper, should agree that competition is never a bad thing. But we do understand why Pappin felt overwhelmed. (Nude girls...
...salient divide in politics, says Commander in Chief, is not blue vs. red. It's blue vs. pink. I suppose you could call this a compliment to women. It's men, the show is saying, who devote themselves to grandiose ideologies, and women who clean up their mess.

This issue will be salient so long as the admissions office keeps admitting—as surely it will—students who need to compete in everything, including hardbodyness...
