...hard to read simply because it isn’t very eloquent. He writes like a scientist: past events come across as if they were entries in a study or report. Like observational entries in a report, sentences are often choppy and transitions seemed somewhat unnatural. But while the text is problematic on the micro-level, on the macro-level, Zimbardo proves to be a masterful narrator and paces the story at just the right speed. He is also a lucky man: the material and subject matter naturally invites the curiosity of the reader and allows him to overlook Zimbardo?...
...fact, the tone of the Edwards campaign has been impressive from the start--from the moment, during Christmas week, that he announced his candidacy by helping clean up a devastated neighborhood in New Orleans, without buttons or balloons, without a bombastic prepared text. Also impressive was his first appearance as a candidate on Meet the Press, a show that had totally boggled Edwards in 2004. Tim Russert hammered the candidate repeatedly on his support for the war.

Often the objects are exhibited mostly as a testament to their own survival,” she says. “Many objects [in the Sackler] don’t have wall text, so you don’t have any idea about them, and you should.” Howland thinks the podcast will help the Sackler in particular, which sees fewer student visitors than either the Fogg or the Busch-Reisinger Museum. “The first thing you have...
...being wise would be so tight.”If there’s one person who hears these lines the most, it’s likely UC President Ryan A. Petersen ’08, who between phone calls (15 to 20 a day), e-mails, text messages, meetings, and the nights that Sundquist spends on his futon, has plenty of opportunities to enjoy his running mate’s amiability. But this is not to say that the two are joined at the hip: Sundquist’s schedule is his own, and it is a busy...
