Although I have only stayed one semester past my graduating class, the process of leaving Harvard has seemed an endless affair to me. During the spring of last year, I lived vicariously through my aughtie-aught companions. I, too, was swept up in the thesis-crunch of February and March, carried away by the bacchanalian reprieve of April and May, and found myself nodding in agreement with the insurgent nostalgia of Senior Week and Graduation. It is hard to describe the whole experience; words fail to capture the emotive inertia that propels the last few months, here. It is something...

...expect to see many of those who cheered Laurent Kabila's march to power mourning over his assassination. Because the diminutive guerrilla leader, who assumed the presidency of the Congo only four years ago as the Rwandan army led an insurrection that swept aside the four-decade dictatorship of Mobutu Sese Seko, had become a caricature of the man he'd replaced. He headed up a corrupt, inept and duplicitous government that delivered little to its long-suffering people except more war. Kabila was reportedly shot dead Tuesday by one of his bodyguards, in what may have been part...
