...thinking about programs for the poor. As a middle-class Republican, not an ultraconservative, I want better things for our country, but I do not want to support someone for life and perpetuate a cycle of poverty and welfare dependence. I am willing to invest in programs that train poor people for employment and allow them to contribute to society by paying taxes like the rest of us. Let's have a Congressional Antipoverty Caucus, as Klein suggests, and base aid on economic need rather than race. I don't want to give handouts. I want our money used...

...send out the film’s co-director/co-screenwriter, Nick Park, the creator of the Wallace and Gromit characters. There’s just one problem: Park is just not cut out for interviews. At one point in speaking to The Harvard Crimson, he loses his train of thought and pauses silently just long enough to make everyone in the room uncomfortable. He may just be the only world-famous filmmaker in existence who will turn into a nervous wreck in the presence of college journalists. All of this, of course, makes him devastatingly charming...

...says Kathleen E. McKee ’06, who worked on FOP administration this summer. “They bring Harry Potter to life.” Quirky lyrics such as, “Oh the bus don’t go to Hogwarts, you gots to take the train,” inspired a Facebook group “Voldemort Can’t Stop the Rock,” and prompted the FOP leaders to contact the twosome for a private performance in a Mather suite last month that literally left the windows steamy...

...powerful fart: Dropping a Silent-But-Deadly into one of those deceptively absorbent chairs in the Lamont reading room, or utilizing the superb acoustics of Sanders Theater to let off so loudly that Michael Sandel forgets whether or not you are supposed to push the fat dude onto the train to save those innocent people? Or: What would happen if the whole world farted at once? (Probably everyone would die or the ozone would disintegrate. Either that or…no one would notice!?!?) Like any good philosophical tangent, this one caused us to feel an uncomfortable sense of uncertainty...

...Japan already has a modest manned program, but it's dependent on the patronage of the U.S. Eight Japanese astronauts have been trained by NASA, and five of them have flown space-shuttle missions (including the flight of Discovery in August that marked the first shuttle mission since Columbia disintegrated upon reentry in 2003). At Tsukuba Space Center, JAXA's main campus, located about a 40-minute train ride northeast of Tokyo, Yoshiyuki Hasegawa and his team were recently putting the finishing touches on Japan's next small step. In a gigantic clean room the size of a warehouse, Hasegawa...
