...this was around the beginning of second semester last year, and the rag, Harvard's short-lived ultrafeminist journal, had just run a picture of a woman's vagina, with litcigarette inserted, propped up on a stack of books (such as Moby Dick). The picture was titled "The Educated Pussy" and had caused a small-to-medium-sized stir on campus, as well as some great Crimson editorial cartoons...
...beach, there was no standing around. We tried using the fold-up bikes we'd trained on for two years. But the rubble on the roads made the whole thing impractical. After about three miles, we were ordered to stack them up in a heap. We dug slit trenches the first night in a churchyard; Jerry was maybe 1,000 yds. away. When we tried to negotiate with a local farmer to buy some eggs, he was mystified by our Quebec French and finally asked in English, 'What do you want?' He had been a steward on the French liner...
...front page photograph in Wednesday's paper showed blank ballots from this week's Undergraduate Council referendum protruding out of an envelope next to the official ballot box in the council office.

The photograph was taken after a Crimson reporter moved the blank ballots out of the envelope to illustrate the fact that they were blank. This action constitutes a violation of Crimson policy, and we apologize for the error...

Pregnant women with deep bruises on their bellies. Young girls gone vacant-eyed after rape. The pictures, the man says, are proof of brutal government repression in Haiti, in this case the coastal city of Gonaives, against supporters of Father Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the President ousted in a 1991 military coup...
...recent Ethnic Studies demonstration for Junior Parent's Weekend, protesters claimed that Harvard lacked even one tenured Latino professor. A second stack of posters defined the term "Latino" as referring only to Chicanos or "U.S. Latinos." Though the call for more faculty diversity is warranted, Harvard does have a tenured Cuban-American professor--his name is Jorge Dominguez, and he is a worldreknowned expert in political science. Though organizers claim the error was an oversight, I was left wondering how much of that oversight had to do with tensions within our communities. The mistake was pointed out after the second...
