...Core (a.k.a. "thoughtless pastiche"). A tired horse, but since it appears the Core Review Committee did little more than have tea for the past year when it was supposed to be revamping the program, we need to beat it again. Allow concentration classes to substitute for Core classes across the board, because no one learns "methods and approaches to knowledge" in more than one or two of their Core requirements. And if the Faculty really gets carried away, be bold! Admit that Harvard is not providing its students with a broad liberal education, and enact a "Great Books" curriculum. That...

...What a thoughtless Swiss diplomat came to call nothing less than a "war" against his country started with little things. A gold ring. A novel. A chair. Before long, a chain reaction of seemingly disconnected events, an assortment of powerful personalities and a series of Swiss blunders culminated in a moral crusade to track down stolen wealth hidden away inside the vaults of Zurich and restore it to the victims of the Holocaust.

After enduring nearly a month of guilt, Graham says, he confessed his infidelity to Zamora, a student at nearby Crowley High School. She told Graham, he says, that her rival must die. "When this precious relationship we had was damaged by my thoughtless actions," he later told police in a written statement, "the only thing that could satisfy her womanly vengeance was the life of the one that had, for an instant, taken her place."
