...TIME Daily's most recent poll was another hot-button issue: "A Kurdish Homeland? Should the United Nations support the creation of a Kurdish state?" Kurdish terrorist/guerrilla leader (depending on your point of view) Abdulla Ocalan had just been nabbed by the Turkish authorities, Kurds across Europe were storming embassies and setting themselves on fire, and the Turkish online community evidently figured the best defense was a good offense. TIME Daily writers were awash in form-letter hate mail with subject lines like "I am protesting you" and "demand for your apologize" -- and the poll was under assault...

...bring up the comparisons with Yale because Harvard's House system today is in grave danger of becoming irrelevant. Most of today's undergraduates view the Houses merely as upperclass dormitories.

...hateful mother, scheming lovers and, finally, a butler (Richard Chamberlain, all oil and vitriol--a nicely creepy job) who hastened her death and gained her fortune. This mini-series, directed by John Erman, has the impulse for high trash but not the racing pulse, the quick, bold strokes; its view of the rich getting skewered by the would-be rich is curiously sedate. The reason to watch is Lauren Bacall; she has the glamour, gravity and great bones to give the elder Doris vigorous life just as she is dying from too many drugs. This is strength within stupor...
