...ever since the advent of William Morris and Liberty of London. The headstrong Isola responded with a flower print that owes nothing to an English country garden.

...what I hate most about this new policy is that I now know the unfortunate truth about Harvard’s future. Fitzsimmons is actually phasing out the College. First, we saw early action wave goodbye.

On Tuesday, Sadr City - the sprawling Baghdad Shi'ite slum that is the capital's largest neighborhood and a stronghold of the Mahdi Army - remained locked down as fighting continued between militia fighters and Iraqi and American forces. Politicians from a number of parties warned of an impending humanitarian crisis...
