...Quad, where a fifth of Harvard’s undergraduate population has access to only one nearby gym—the QRAC. Other students at Harvard have access to at least two—Hemenway and the Malkin Athletic Center—both of which are far superior to the QRAC. Yet, Harvard decided three weeks ago, in a process that was utterly lacking in transparency, to limit what little Quadlings have by mandating that men not be allowed to use the facility during a range of hours from eight to ten, Tuesday and Thursday mornings and from three...
...often, though, the Academy has rewarded films at the high end of mediocrity, operating within a narrow band of reassuring realism. They're called "movies of quality," which really means movies of piety--stories of cozy spiritual uplift (Mrs. Miniver, Going My Way) or, more recently, of superior damaged creatures (Rain Man, A Beautiful Mind).

...grand plan for Super Tuesday, it turns out, depended on one candidate having superior strength, assets and popularity. Instead, the two superstar candidates and their dueling arsenals canceled each other out. Obama's greatest strength was among upscale voters, African Americans, younger people, liberals and those with college educations. He ran even with Clinton among men. Clinton drew strong support from women, older voters, Hispanics, lower-income people and those with less education. And even those gaps were shrinking, as Clinton's edge among women narrowed in some states and Obama's inroads with white voters increased...
