...Press.Founded in 1913, the Harvard University Press is one of the nation’s most renowned university presses. Its collection of scholarly books, as well as the Loeb Classical Library and I Tatti Renaissance Library, have earned the Press a coveted place among academic publishers. “Yesterday, we had a visit from people at the King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They wanted to know our secret,” Editor-in-Chief Michael G. Fisher ’73 says. As the publishing industry struggles to adapt to changing readership, Press employees hope that...
...authors of a book on the interface between internet and politics ascribed a recent national political realignment to the rise of a “Millennial Generation” immersed in on-line, social-networking technologies at an Institute of Politics event yesterday. Authors Morley Winograd and Michael D. Hais, together with Kennedy School professor Elaine C. Kamarck, emphasized the centrality of a young generation—born between 1982 and 2003—to the rise of the Democratic party in the 2008 election, and said that the influence of this “Millennial” voting bloc...
Thirteen is one unlucky number. The Harvard women’s lacrosse team found this out yesterday as No. 13 Dartmouth scored 13 goals on its home turf, beating the Crimson for the 13th year in a row.

They know that even in Pyongyang, North Korean officials have access to the Internet. If they cared to, they could have read yesterday's New York Times, which reported that the Obama Administration is considering dropping the U.S. demand that Iran cease enriching uranium before any direct Washington-Tehran talks about Iran's nuclear program. This would explicitly reverse the Bush Administration's position that talks could start only after the enriching stopped...
...likely the White House shares this view, even though in public it has harped on getting the North Koreans back to the six-party format. This is probably no longer possible, after Pyongyang's announcement yesterday. So the trick for Obama now is twofold. He must figure out how much time to let pass before trying to re-engage the North. (Even before the April 5 launch, Obama's special envoy, Stephen Bosworth, talked of letting the "dust from the missile [test] settle.") Then Obama must decide what to say to Pyongyang whenever the moment of reaching out arrives...
