...students of Harvard University were denied a free voice on Nov. 1 when Chinese President Jiang Zemin came to speak. With such an enormous interest in President Jiang's speech, it is unfortunate that so few students were lotteried into Sanders.

The resulting cacophony turned First-Year Parents Weekend--a traditionally chaotic time--off-the-hook...
...wake of China honch Jiang Zemin's visit, people are beginning to realize that the wily/cherubic Jiang managed to go a whole week without saying anything at all. But at least no one tried to kill him ? a la the deadpan Airplane spawn The Naked Gun, which I mention here simply because it's really, really funny. It's Reggie...
