Congratulations to the Harvard Office of Admissions. Not only for considering the dubious academic and extra-curricular qualifications of the Editorial Board and choosing us to fulfil Harvard’s “untalented student?? quota, but also for their exciting decision announced yesterday to send out some early admissions decisions by e-mail. Anxious high school seniors will no longer have to endure those anxious December days (perhaps as many as three of them) waiting for their “snail” mail to arrive.

As students moved in, families moved out, and the neighborhood took on a transient character. “Student?? sounds like an insult in my father’s mouth; he spits it out as though no further explanation were needed...
