...rapidly expanding student loan crisis has, in short, revealed that colleges work in students’ best interests with surprising irregularity. Instead, the colleges all too frequently collude with lenders to inflate already-healthy profits, or at the very least, create the appearance of grave impropriety. These activities have struck such a nerve because students blindly put trust in their schools to lead them through the jungle that is the loan industry. Sending a student to a preferred loan company—essentially guaranteeing that company business— when that company does not provide the best possible loan betrays...
...Increasingly across Iraq, U.S. forces are leaving the comfort and safety of their fortified mega-bases and establishing small combat outposts and patrol bases like the one insurgents struck outside Baquba that left 20 soldiers wounded as well. Some patrol bases are well protected with blast walls and large numbers of troops. Others are little more than abandoned houses that a few platoons circle with Humvees while hunkering down inside.

All those fat men my mom brought home. Want me to call them Daddy, then do me like no daddy ever should a girl. When you been through...
...shots that rang out over Virginia Tech’s campus on Monday morning will continue to reverberate across the entire country for a long time to come. At colleges and universities, the magnitude and nature of the massacre at Tech has struck a particularly raw nerve. Here at Harvard we know the pain of losing one of our own; we cannot begin to imagine the devastation of losing 33 all at once. More horrifying than simply the heartbreaking loss of life is the sense of violation that comes with this type of unconscionable act. Much like the 1999 Columbine...
