...although the swim test is no longer in force, Harvard ought not consign itself indefinitely to an educational regime that administers only to the mind. For Harvard to produce once again well-rounded individuals, of strong character as well as strong minds, it would do well to revert to an older conception of moral education—of which the discipline, endurance, and sportsmanship provided by required physical exercise is a crucial component...
...Brown called on the McCain team to free Sarah Palin, denouncing their use of her as sexist and infantilizing. "Stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower who will wilt at any moment," Brown argued. "This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud. She is strong, she is tough, she is confident.

...throwing a wrench into the talks after a deal - at least between Senators and House Democrats - was largely completed yesterday afternoon. That deal quickly unraveled late yesterday afternoon at an emergency gathering of congressional leaders, McCain and Barack Obama at the White House, where House Republicans voiced their strong opposition to the bailout. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid seemed to put much of the blame on McCain in a press conference this morning, when he said that the deal's outlines were in place - and then "Guess who came to town...
