...very dismayed to read your call for students to protest the Undergraduate Council’s dilatory efforts at reform by opting out of the termbill fee (“Putting the U in UC,” editorial, May 12). While I fully support the views expressed in the rest of the article, and have been actively speaking out in favor of a two-committee UC, the target of a termbill protest would not be the UC, but innocent student groups and house committees. Many student groups, such as the Harvard College Democrats, derive a large part of their...
...truths that we take for granted.Common complaint number one: “Harvard’s social scene sucks. We don’t have any fun.”While it’s true that we don’t really party like our friends at State U, this seems to be the biggest case of “the grass is always greener” in the pantheon of Harvard undergraduate complaints.

Its multiculti flavor has led to Malkani being hailed in the celebrity-hungry British press as the next Monica Ali or Zadie Smith in a line of hot young "ethnic" writers. Could any first-time novelist live up to those expectations? Well, the more serious gora (white) critics...
...Chavez is a would-be dictator in the mold of Fidel Castro and a threat to hemispheric stability. But if Chavez can use his combination of financial clout and pan-Latin charisma to keep the Puerto Iguazu parties united, it would undoubtedly help raise his standing from an anti-U.S. firebrand to the sort of regional coalition-builder Latin America has never had. Alex Main, a former international relations advisor to Chavez, concurs: "This is the first time we've seen a real challenge to the unity of the new Latin American left, and to keep it together through...
