...Lieberman's G.O.P. Tryst "What Joe wants" [March 5] discussed Senator Joe Lieberman's cross-aisle flirtation and his seeming preference for John McCain in 2008 - in the hope that McCain would select Joe as his vice-presidential running mate. Although a Lieberman crossover would turn control of the Senate back to the Republicans, a 2008 gain in the Senate by the Dems would force him out of the limelight he so assiduously craves. The reality is that most people see through his machinations. He might consider a crash course in chess before it's checkmate for his political influence...
Part one: Bringing Art To Allston Part two: A Community Endeavor Part three: Defining 'Allstoned'It would be a shame if Allston was only used by a select few and became a secondary campus split from the rest of Harvard.

Last month, a federal judge declared unconstitutional a similar law, from Illinois, that would have barred state-backed investments...
...Harvard administration’s job shuffle, the selection of President-elect Drew G. Faust has so far stolen the show. Flying under the radar, however, is an administrative search that will arguably have a greater direct impact on the students of Harvard College—the search for the new dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS). Given the importance of this position, we hope that Faust, who will select the new dean, will give students an official voice. The dean of the Faculty has broad powers that affect both student life and education. The dean holds...
