...Wilner: Back when I was at the Yale Daily News, I used to work every night beneath this portrait of Briton Hadden, and it was a very mysterious picture. He had almost a Mona Lisa smile. So I started wondering about who he was. I began reading his old editorials in the bound volumes of the Yale Daily News, and his style in those old papers sounded just like the early voice of TIME. It was very flip, brash, clever, a lot of short sentences. It was full of energy. That's when I started thinking much more seriously about...

It expresses only nominal support for popular causes, such as Take Back the Night.The UC can do nothing to protest against the College when it makes dubious decisions like the no-alcohol policy at this year’s Harvard-Yale tailgate, or the recent tax on donations to student groups. Meanwhile, it applauds post factum bold steps taken by the University, such as the financial aid initiative or the curricular review.In other words, the UC is just a slothful bystander. It merely turns its head in the direction...
