...give athletes a chance to earn that title. Harvard is not an institution that focuses exclusively on academics; Harvard breeds an inordinate share of scholars and Nobel laureates, but it also promotes journalism, musicianship, politics, as well as athletics. The College admissions office should stick with the status quo and not alienate athletes as Lowell tried to alienate Jews back in 1920s.

The gangland execution of the respected Vice President of the Regional Assembly as he cast his vote was a warning that no one is safe, particularly not politicians like Fortugno who might have ideas about changing the status quo. The Bishop of Locri, Giancarlo Bregantini, noted that there were "two places in the world where they shoot at the polling stations: Iraq and Calabria." Though the outcome of the vote wasn't at issue in Calabria, the polls provided a perfect setting for the mob to make...
