Today I don’t remember prefrosh weekend particularly well: The awkward introductions, the poor weather, and the inaugural Mather Lather have blurred together in my memory. I do, however, distinctly remember reading an article in the “pre-frosh” edition of The Crimson, which purported to describe the course of a typical undergraduate’s social life...
...interior-design company in New Delhi, has come to dread. During Mehta's frequent business trips in India, his flight often approaches its destination only to have the pilot announce that the plane will have to circle the airport for a while-not because there's bad weather or a mechanical glitch, but because of congestion on the ground. Mehta's plight is shared by thousands of his countrymen. Thanks to India's economic prosperity and the booming growth of its airline industry, more Indians are flying today than ever before. But they are enjoying it less, because more than...
Summer has come early to London this year. The city's parks are parched, its riverside pubs and cafés packed. Londoners are enjoying the weather, but some detect in its unusual generosity the hidden curse of global warming. A similar pessimism greeted the life sentences handed out on the last day of April in a sticky courtroom to five British-raised terrorists for their involvement in a conspiracy to commit mass murder. The branch of the U.K.'s security service known as MI5 foiled the plot before any blood was spilled, but its success cloaks a tragic failure...
Instead, airlines taunt us with a byzantine yield-management pricing system that tries to factor in fuel prices, weather, congestion and everything else that complicates air travel. "It's not like any other business I know," says Grinstein. Selling an airline ticket is "more like trying to figure out a prisoner's dilemma than it is about trying to sell a can of paint." (Guess who's the prisoner?) Compare JetBlue's walk-up fares with Delta's advance-purchase fares, he says, and you'll see little difference. Still, demand is unusually high this year, meaning travelers should expect...
...University’s shoddy Web portal, my.harvard.edu, again. Thanks to CrimsonConnect.com, a new Web portal co-founded by Tom D. Hadfield ’08 and Benjamin P. Schwartz ’10, students would be able to read their e-mail, find out the weather, check campus events and happenings, scope out the dining hall’s menu, and access their course Web pages—among other things—all at one beautiful, easily customizable portal. Students would only have to navigate the clunky, seven-year-old my.harvard interface to print their study cards...
