...leader of a student group can be held responsible for the behavior of their sometimes uninvited guests—who may barhop for hours before vomiting at said student group’s function. The situation becomes even more complicated when students attend multiple College-sponsored functions in the space of one night. Beyond these substantive objections to the current alcohol amnesty policy, we urge those in positions of authority to make the process of policy revision as transparent as possible. College and House administrators have sought student input on topics as varied as House renovations and environmental sustainability through...
...construction of its schools. Precision and planning are as rare as forested mountaintops, swept clean by loggers and people desperate for firewood. Day-to-day survival is hard enough.

(See pictures of Haiti's food riots here...
...near impossible to find a decent hotel room under three figures in Manhattan, but now there's The Jane. The hotel is famous for having sheltered the survivors of the Titanic, and the rooms do sort of resemble ship's berths, with a mere 50 sq. ft. of space and a shared bathroom down the hall.

(11,000 sq m) of office space in downtown Washington with a transition operation that is ultimately expected to have a staff of 450 and a budget of $12 million, more than half of which must be raised from private funds. Obama's goal, says his old friend Valerie Jarrett, another co-chair of the transition operation, "is to be able to be organized, efficient, disciplined and transparent to the American people." More disciplined than...
...years piled up fast. Sixty-five years in prison each for 14 former student activists. Twenty-and-a-half years for a blogger. Twelve-and-a-half years for a labor leader. Six-and-a-half years for five Buddhist monks. Two years for a poet. In the space of just three days this week, more than 30 Burmese were sentenced to prison or hard labor by the country's ruling junta, a chilling legal onslaught that sent a clear message to other potential dissidents: speak out, and get used to life in a prison cell...
