...since the doomed Robert Bork has there been a Supreme Court nominee with such a clear record of opposition to abortion. And yet, as Samuel Alito moves closer to Senate confirmation this week, the rumble that many expected over his position on the issue has failed to materialize.

Born in 1889 to a Neapolitan baker named Raffaele Esposito—and some would say perfected at a Cantabrigian restaurant on Winthrop St.—pizza is an unassuming peacemaker with a storied past.

We have expressed our distaste for the offensive and antiquated nature of final clubs ad nauseam. We demur at the exclusion...
...stop the Iraq war and prevent others like it, we can’t rely on a draft or some other measure to spread the sacrifice. We have to win over those millions of middle class families who supported this war with their votes, their money, and their lives. Samuel M. Simon ’05-’06 is a social studies concentrator in Eliot House. His column appears regularly...
