...little bit older. Also, it appears that the higher-ups have digitized and buffed up the advising system for you. You’re the first freshman class to enjoy the online advising portal—too bad what’s on the other side of that portal is still, more often than not, completely useless. That’s unfortunate, since the freshman class seems to be slightly less intelligent than in years past. Recent polls have shown a fifth of Harvard freshmen can’t locate Annenberg on a University map. We personally believe that Harvard...
...with Unforgiven. These are not entirely apt. Mangold's offering lacks the blackness and absurdity of Clint Eastwood's great film. It is more in the vein of Anthony Mann's westerns of the 1950s - trim, efficiently paced, full of briskly stated conflicts that edge up to the dark side, but never fully embrace it. That's quite all right. 3:10 to Yuma reminds us that well-made westerns - precisely because they are such a ritualized and conventionalized form - have an ability to isolate moral conflicts in spare, essentially unrealistic, contexts and thus focus our undistracted attention on those...

The Republican National Committee has said it will also sanction early-acting states--there are as many as seven--but it has been less strict in reining them in.

In swing states like Michigan and Florida...
...last month, lawmakers from ASEAN, of which Burma is a member, publicly castigated China for its continued support of the regime. (Beijing's economic patronage has blunted the effect of international sanctions imposed on the junta, punitive measures that many Burmese support.) "We know the world is on our side now," says Aung Zaw, a former student activist who lives in northern Thailand and edits a Burma-focused publication called the Irrawaddy. "That moral support is very important for the people back in Burma, who are risking their lives to fight the regime...
