...universal health care, pro-gun control and pro-education? That is, should a woman be elected solely for her gender, regardless of her policies, or should she be elected because as a woman, she might (or should) appreciate the struggles of those who are discriminated against and those whose rights are being ignored? Why should we be eager for a woman president unless we want a representative in the White House who believes in gender equality across all facets of life...
Senior quarterback Rich Linden, whose 26-game starting streak ended on Saturday, played one series, with 5:44 left in the second quarter. He completed a 25-yard pass to convert on third-and-15, but a personal foul and false start left him with third-and-38, and Harvard had to punt. Linden completed 1-of-3 passes and was sacked once for a five-yard loss...

Four writers, including Love Story's Erich Segal, invented bizarre universes for the Beatles to stroll through, and designer Heinz Edelmann dreamed up creatures whose beguiling oddness suggests a collision of Dali and Dr. Seuss. Seen now, in a long-overdue video release, the film registers as an obvious inspiration for Sesame Street, Monty Python and MTV, and is a delight on its own. Thirty-one years on, nothing in feature animation has matched its endless...
