...already stellar reputation, and will fundamentally benefit the nature of discourse in Cambridge itself. Kagan’s accomplishments have not been limited to the acquisition of new faculty members. She has proven to be extremely popular with both the law student body and the law school administration. In spite of being passed over for Harvard’s presidency early last year, Kagan has been deemed the “perfect” dean by some. Indeed, this praise and enthusiasm from her student body earned her a well-deserved celebration of her work as dean in February...
...campus was on lockdown. Had Kazmierczak not killed himself at the scene of the attack, these security procedures—put in place after last April’s shooting at Virginia Tech—most likely would have prevented further killings. But in spite of elaborate security measures, random and tragic acts of violence are impossible to prevent. In situations like this one, it is not productive to point fingers.

A cable dispute between Cox Communications, which has exclusive rights to broadcast Hornets games, and Charter Communications, the cable provider for about 225,000 residents in suburban St. Tammany Parish, left many affluent fans unable to watch their team. To add to the Hornets' hard luck, the cash-strapped team...
...risk of sounding like sediment, let me announce that I have no problem with “settling.” “Settling” is what happens when you accept someone in spite of the ways in which he or she falls short of your ideal. At times, it is inappropriate. But this kind of “settling” is what real relationships are based on. Harvard students, adrift in the sea of misaligned expectations, need to realize this. Instead of waiting for someone who not only finds their intellectualism positively arousing but also enjoys...
