...little rascals that we are, we see right through them. (Up to exam 40. Then our lynx eyes droop, and grading habits relax. Try to get on the bottom of the pile.) Again, it is not that A.E.s are vicious or ludicrous as such; but in quantity they become sheer madness. Or induce it. “The 20th century has never recovered from the effects of Marx and Freud.” (V.G.); “But whether or not this is a good thing or a bad thing is difficult...
...bigger part of the problem may be the sheer number of bars just yards from campus. Many stay open until 4 a.m. and encourage drinking games like Bladder Busters, in which the bar discounts drinks to 50 until someone breaks down and relieves himself.

Meanwhile, the MBTA is facing tougher budgets in the recession. It would be folly to simply transfer money from one poor state agency to another. The MBTA should save its cash, let the Mass Pike...
...tank, eventually helped to orchestrate—hardly indicates the dawning of a new age of democracy. An Iraqi reenactment of the fall of the Berlin Wall, this was not. As British journalist James Bays told the Washington Post, “Total control has been replaced by sheer anarchy.” Whether America can justify its self-proclaimed title of “liberator” depends upon what kind of liberation eventually emerges from the chaos...
