What really irks Butler and her neighbors is that they were led to expect much more. They saw hope last summer when Congress passed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, which seemed to promise housing relief for hundreds of thousands of homeowners like Butler via mortgage-restructuring aid. But for reasons no one in Washington has adequately explained, that part of the bill never really materialized. What foreclosure-ravaged communities got instead were slivers of a $4 billion Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) fund to buy and refurbish already foreclosed homes.

...little over a month ago, while my family and I were having dinner in Coullier, France, and discussing the coming election, a British woman overheard us and said very seriously, "The whole world is watching." I regarded the statement as a little overdramatic until I saw how the international community reacted when Obama was elected.

In 1995, the UC began popular presidential elections, and students voiced their desire for more on-campus comforts. For example, the administration of Beth A. Stewart ’00 saw the start of Fly-By and cable in house common rooms. Since spinning off the planning of campus social events to the newly created College Events Board in 2006, the UC has won some battles (finals before Christmas and student representation on the Ad Board) and lost others (party grants...
