Amanpour is also the first woman to speak at Class Day since 1994, when Lani C. Guinier ’71, then assistant attorney general for civil rights, was chosen. The speakers themselves send messages just as important as the contents of their speeches, and we believe that the selection of a woman—an extremely qualified, experienced, and talented woman—has the potential to inspire more than just Harvard women to achieve new heights of success...
...person, surprisingly, Jenny McCarthy comes across as corn-fed cute rather than overwhelmingly beautiful. She has a common touch, and a woman even slightly more beautiful would struggle to connect as she does.

A cigarette dangles from the youth's mouth, extending downward before seeming to disappear into the man's pants. Below the photo is a caption that reads: "Smoking Means Being a Slave to Tobacco...
...young woman enters the showroom, walking confidently toward us and smiling. "Very nice to meet you," she says. "I'm new here." She does not shake my hand; she is religious, dressed in a hijab and bulky overcoat. Her name is Samiya abu-Rayyan, and she is a bit of a miracle as well - a graduate of a new program, Education for Employment (EFE), that trains young Palestinians in how to get and keep jobs. She is a graduate of Hebron University, but she was entirely unprepared for the workplace. "I had many interviews, but I didn't know...
