...slipped into an increasingly dark depression. By the end of first semester, I had suffered through Moral Reasoning 50, one badly broken heart, and 40 thankless hours a week at The Crimson. Things seemed desperate, and I considered taking a leave of absence for spring semester. I started to wonder if Harvard had been the right choice after all. What if I had gone to Smith or Wellesley? How could life have been different? I wouldn’t have sold my soul to The Crimson, wouldn’t have met “him,” wouldn?...
...Donald Rumsfeld makes sense for the President even if the calls for him to leave grow louder. Replacing Rumsfeld is unlikely to change the situation in Iraq or raise the President's popularity, because the President seems uninterested in a new approach to the three-year-old war.

Because publicly, TBTN organizers were inauspiciously mum. One might have expected a disavowal, a roundtable, even a protest.That is, one might expect those reactions if one was altogether unacquainted with...
...their book Land Without Ghosts: Chinese Impressions of America from the Mid-Nineteenth Century to the Present, historians R. David Arkush and Leo O. Lee write that during the first period of interaction, from 1841 to around 1900, China's view of the U.S. was a mixture of wonder and fear. Woken from torpid indifference to the outside world by humiliating defeats in the Opium Wars, the Qing mandarins decided China must strengthen itself by observing the ways of other countries. But for all their awe at America's technological prowess, of "fire-wheeled vehicles" that moved faster than...
