...Saturday-night reveler. The crowd was very attractive, but perhaps it was just my beer goggles in full effect. After a quick survey, the bar was giving me strong date-only vibes. With subdued blue decor and quasi-pretentious modern art decorating the walls, West Side Lounge makes for an intimate outing, best enjoyed romantically. No table-dancing, that’s for sure.

In examining these numbers, the committee must...

Binge drinking also increases the risk of sexual assault. Harvard administrators have often cited alcohol as a mitigating factor in the sexual assault cases that are reported. Reducing alcohol abuse on campus is vital to ensuring the safety of Harvard undergraduates...
...troops in Iraq face a difficult situation. Many recognize that they are little more than an occupying, rather than a liberating, army. Half of troops responding in a recent survey by the Pentagon-funded newspaper Stars & Stripes said that morale was either low or very low in their units and that they did not plan to reenlist. One-third said they would characterize the war in Iraq as having little or no value. On Wednesday, Reuters reported the Army’s disclosure that at least 13 soldiers have committed suicide in Iraq. Despite these conditions—Bush...
