...solutions to this crisis are obvious. President Barack Obama has publicly announced that he will adopt a shelter dog to be the First Pet—a noble example that will hopefully inspire others. Spaying and neutering have caught on across the country, though a quarter of dogs still slip outside the programs. Tighter regulations on puppy mills and animal laboratories would be a good first step to stopping needless suffering...
...campus. During the 2007-08 school year, 20 percent of Harvard undergraduates reported experiencing emotional distress. But its prevalence, however, does not make it easier to talk about.

What do these people do to themselves?...When I tell people my age in L.A., they...
Love may be in the air for Valentine’s Day this weekend, but there certainly will not be warm feelings in the Bright Hockey Center. Tonight, the Harvard men’s ice hockey team will look to avoid a slip-up against Colgate (8-15-5, 3-10-3 ECAC). Tomorrow the Crimson (5-14-4, 5-7-4) will play one of its most anticipated games of the season as it faces off against bitter and historic rival Cornell (15-4-4, 10-3-3) in what is sure to be an intense and physical battle...
