...engage the Nazis in a foreign war. It wasn't until that era's "9/11 moment"-the attack on Pearl Harbor-that the U.S. woke up and realized there was a terrible war of civilizations going on. But, boy, when you did wake up, you didn't go to sleep again. In Britain we were being slaughtered, and we were mighty thankful to see the Yanks occupying our countryside, I can tell you. Thank God there were no Kinsleys around wanting to bring the boys home when the going got tough. By comparison, Iraq is a walk in the park...
...traditional Republicans make of all this? In 2000, George W. Bush successfully used "compassionate conservatism" to soften his image with independents and some conservative Democrats.

Apparently polite Post-Its about his blaring alarm are ineffective. 8) Get a dining hall dog to help with the no-potato-left-behind effort. 9) Shut off your computer when you go to sleep. For real, the screen saver doesn’t save shit. 10) Use the green-handle toilets for water conservation. If you don’t see green, you have permission not to flush. 11) Steal bulbs from Lamont’s fifth floor lamps and leave a note...
...Your mother was right,” a Harvard Medical School professor told undergraduates last night. “If you don’t sleep enough, you’ll get dumb, sick, and fat.” Associate Professor of Psychiatry Robert A. Stickgold was speaking in Boylston Hall last night as part of a panel assembled by the Community Health Initiative to tell notoriously sleep-deprived Harvard students about the importance of a good night’s sleep. The panel, composed of sleep experts from the medical school, started out with an issue particularly close...
