...Lawrence H. Summers was committed to such fundraising efforts, as exemplified by his organizing an alumni conference in Mumbai last year. Yet, the conference failed to raise much support, partially because donors rescinded their offers in light of Summers’ departure. (At least one major donor expressed such sentiment outwardly to the South Asian Studies Initiative.) Despite initial setbacks with alumni funding, we encourage the Faculty, Interim President Derek C. Bok, and the next president to reassure donors by demonstrating commitment to South Asian Studies through the provision of initial seed money. Moreover, it is imperative that the current...
...best not embarked on by granting the commander in chief a mush-mouthed authority to do that which he's empowered to do anyway. It's a little like those make-work proclamations Congress periodically busies itself issuing - declaring November Reading Readiness Month, or somesuch.

...think shit would go down, since The Game is a well-known Blood, and Snoop incessantly references his Crip heritage. But you’d be wrong.

Formerly, to my delight, Hollywood seemed immune to this phenomenon, and starlets brazenly flashed their collective implants to the world at every venue possible. Now the anti-cleavage sentiment is so strong in fashion that even L.

That, to me, is sad, and offends my pecuniary sensibilities. Again, this...
...International Breast Milk Project's third shipment, nearly another 23 gallons (this time shipped care of FedEx, on the house), arrived in Durban on Thanksgiving Day. And the sentiment of that holiday isn't lost on anyone. The nurses at iThemba Lethu often give thanks and bless the baby for whom the milk was produced, before they share it with an orphan who needsit. Penny Reimers, a registered nurse who runs the milk bank there, says every time she feeds one of the orphans, "It's like watching a little miracle unfolding. Within days we start to see a difference...
