...nerds - was surprisingly watchable. In the bright lighting of my kitchen, or the sunlit living room, video turned out well. I didn?t compare it with other recorded video, but I did view plenty of it on a 42-inch high-definition plasma TV. Not only were the colors vibrant and accurate, but the action was crisp and easy to watch. However, the picture did not turn out so well in dim lighting, even when I messed with the low-light settings. In those instances, the camcorder?s focus...
...lose so much housing and so many jobs has given the 1906 centennial a somber emotional edge. At risk in this case is not just a very large metropolitan population--the Bay Area now has about 7 million residents versus perhaps 800,000 in 1906--but also a vibrant $350 billion economy that includes one of the nation's largest financial hubs, one of its busiest ports and one of the world's densest concentrations of technical and scientific talent...

Imagine how much more fun and vibrant the House communities could be if they actually stood for something, as they did in the past—with the artsy kids in Adams, the jocks in Mather, and so on. A common problem that often arises at Harvard—one that led to randomization in the first place?...
...TIME noted that a great contribution of Filipinos to history?People Power?failed in the country of its birth. But our complex society is basically at peace. Our press is free; our economy is dynamic, resilient and competitive. Our art and culture are vibrant, our people are happy, and we are the friends of everyone on earth. We have a lot to be thankful for, despite our tragedies, some of which are self-inflicted. Only a great people could have produced People Power, and appraising this great nation from the historical speck of 20 years is like judging...
