Adams House Master Sean Palfrey said he saw little reason to stray from the present House system, even though first-years might benefit from increased contact with upperclass students...
...high and they indulged their new leader. The slogan behind the lectern evoked early Tony Blair: mark latham and labor. His opening speech was reminiscent of a campaign launch (which it was, in a way), but Latham did not overdo it. He was measured, humble and did not stray from a long-standing platform. There were powerful visual images ("I want to save at the center of government and send services and assistance to communities on the edge") as well as clever lines (Howard's "waiting-list nation"). And, as Latham spoke from memory, with karate-chop hand gestures, somehow...
...death in 1614, 50 models were found among his effects. Despite disdaining anatomy, he loved the texture of fur, hair, trees and starched linen. St. Jerome as Scholar (ca. 1600-1614) is almost all oversized red cape, silky white beard, fuzzy hair and black eyebrows complete with stray white feelers.

...danger, of course, is that the cops will become too assertive and stray back into the brutal behavior that plagued the L.A.P.D. in the past. Bratton has repeatedly said his cops may not "break the law to enforce the law," but complaints against officers are 4.5% higher than they were in 2002. That merely indicates that his men are doing their job, the chief argues, and he points out that there has been a 28% increase in shots fired at officers in the same period. "The gang bangers don't like the game being taken to them, and they...
