...this town, it seems, everyone is Catholic. The boys often take Christ's name in vain, but the sweetest kid in South Park, Butters, is also the most devout.

Huhoh, sweet Joseph, husband of Mary but not father of sweet Jesus!" Butters' mom was right when (after she tried to kill him), she said, "You're the best son in the whole world...

...seniors in Eliot House, we would like to voice our concern that, upon reading “The Mental Health Problem,” (News, “College Faces a Mental Health Crisis,” Jan. 12 and “Students Reach for Help in Vain,” Jan. 21) students might waver before seeking help through Eliot Senior Tutor Oona Ceder. In the spirit of dramatic journalism, Parts I and IV imbue an exasperated tone to a message she sent to Eliot House Master Lino Pertile toward the end of spring term last year. Those...
