The Harvard Foundation would have nervously proclaimed a town hall meeting, and the national media would have surely picked the story up.Harvard Christians’ response to this string of events is a sharp contrast to last November, when Harvard’s Muslim community felt under attack at the publication of anti-Islamic Danish cartoons. A town hall meeting had to be called to save face. No such action, or demand, for that matter, has occurred in the case of the Christians. Apparently, Harvard?...

Horowitz said that he and his team, made up of Harvard undergraduates, graduate students, and one volunteer, would begin nightly searches in about two weeks...
...Sony's defense, the 32S2000 has some great features. The display, including the stand, weights 5.5 lbs. less than Sharp's. Also, it has video input jacks that are accessible from behind, making it easier to mess with your inputs when you're using the stand. In truth, though I had to pick a winner, there's no loser here: you would be proud to own either of these sets. The real winner is LCD technology. It's the future, at least...
