...joys can compare to sitting at my kitchen table over a slow breakfast with a tenderly folded (nay, lovingly tamed!) New York Times resting on the table beside my cereal. This joy only waxes when the cereal is replaced with pain au chocolat, the New York Times with Le Monde, and the table just happens to be in a petit café in France. From one of these joyful tables in Verdun, I send The Harvard Crimson this postcard...
...while industry has been Manchester's most enduring legacy, its decline has left the city with a reputation problem, much like such other once-mighty industrial centers as Detroit and Rotterdam. Gone were the conglomerates, manufacturers and innovators of past, replaced by derelict factories, high unemployment numbers and slow, steady rain...

That's allowed them to preserve their potpourri of fees and to go slow on innovation, thus the stale approach to voice-mail and other services. Google recently proposed an auction system that would enable new players to buy into the wireless spectrum, an idea that could open the door to the sort of competition in the mobile world that enabled the high-speed access offered by better Internet Service Providers to topple AOL's old stranglehold on its customers. The carriers argue that...
