...everyone is thrilled at his nomination to succeed Greenspan: The true believers in ?supply-side? economics at the conservative National Review may back President Bush on most issues, but they are no more impressed with the nomination of Bernanke than they are with that of Harriet Miers. Bernanke, they warn, doesn't share some of their basic positions on issues such as taxation.

A group of Harvard seniors has taken up the apparently self-constructed challenge of bringing two live zebras to Harvard Square by Monday at midnight, with the goal of raising money for hurricane and earthquake relief. If they succeed, they say, an anonymous donor—to whom they refer as the “Contender”—has agreed to purchase a boat large enough to fit the team and the zebras.
