...Until the crackdown, the spring of 1989 felt like one of those rare moments when it seemed possible to take advantage of the sudden cracks in history in order to reshape it. Many in Hong Kong yearn for that chance again. This spring, during my second extended stay in Hong Kong since I left for California 17 years ago - where the statue's replica still sits on my desk - I went back to that familiar spot by the flagpoles. There, I thought of a TV interview that I saw in Hong Kong a few weeks ago, in which a local...
...scavengers arrive on college campuses like clockwork, in search of books, DVD players, barely worn clothes, lamps, couches and anything else that departing students didn't bother to take home. Every spring, several years' worth of accumulated goods are chucked into huge trash receptacles or placed on curbsides by harried undergrads.

Americans relied less on borrowed money in April than they did in March-a sign that the pullback on debt-fueled spending continued into the spring.

...student, all the literature I received welcomed me to the class of 2010—the freshman class that year, not the class I would actually be entering. Harvard treated its transfers both as transfers and as students older than freshmen. At the champagne brunch in Annenberg earlier this spring, acquaintances and casual friends asked what freshman entryway I had lived in. When I told them I had transferred here, they were completely surprised. It’s a shame to see something that Harvard did so well fall by the wayside...
