...presence of the president overseas benefits the University’s relationship with foreign governments and universities in ways that are difficult to quantify, officials say. As much as Faust may learn about the University’s research projects from touring laboratories, for instance, the spotlight shone upon the research centers themselves during her visit alone helps them to thrive...
...loyalists risk looking like the petty boosters of a football factory instead of the thoughtful backers of an elite university that regularly cracks the academic top 20 today. And the country today needs Notre Dame the university far more than it needs Notre Dame the football team. That fact shone like the school's Golden Dome this year when Notre Dame defied the intolerant (and rather un-Catholic) objections of pro-life activists, and invited President Obama to South Bend to promote a rational (and genuinely Catholic) discussion about abortion and other difficult moral issues.

...Developed World The excellent "Postcard: North Parsonfield" by Christopher Ketcham was almost worth my year's subscription to TIME on its own [Nov. 16].

Its potential plans? Possibly a name change (Comcast Entertainment is rumored) but also an increased emphasis on broadening TV's scope beyond the box itself. Comcast is a cable company...
...ribbon shaped from red plastic cups with candles burning inside lit the steps of Memorial Church yesterday evening, and a larger ribbon of red Christmas lights shone from the front of Grays Hall. The candlelight vigil at Memorial Church, followed by the lighting of the ribbon on Grays and a discussion about gay men’s sexual health in the Brazilian immigrant community, was held as a part of the World AIDS Day celebrations, organized by Queer Students and Allies and Global Health and AIDS Coalition...
