Student groups are the lifeblood of our undergraduate community. Yet the College administration is in the process of evicting student groups from office space in Harvard Yard and granting them space in the Quad. Although this move promises to give students more space that will be better equipped and open to more student groups, the symbolic truth is that student groups are being pushed from the heart to the extremities of our campus...
...also offers lectures, social events, and service opportunities, with “a very active core group of about 200 people.” But the CSA places great importance on the student mass and its role in building community through communal worship. “The lifeblood of our organization,” Brewer says, “is our fellowship in Christ and through the Mass.” Lifeblood, lynchpin? Bible study, fellowship in Christ? You’d think Brewer and Bryant were reading from the same script. And their similarities go beyond vocabulary?...
...would suggest that the Corporation or the Board of Overseers should not play a substantial role, if not with a dominant role, in the formal search committee. But in playing that role, these bodies ought to be confronted with the opinions of the students and faculty who are the lifeblood of Harvard.

There are plans all the same, so far mostly unfunded, to help get artists and musicians back to work in a city where the arts were both a spiritual lifeblood and a significant source of revenue.

"Let's get them working because they will...

Over the last 150 years, soldiers from many nations have left their bones on its bleak mountainsides. It probably achieved its greatest unity under the Taliban's Islamo-fascism. Narcotics remain the lifeblood of economic activity, and warlordism rules everywhere outside Kabul. But this next phase of military operations in Afghanistan is especially problematic, because while Nato's expanding mission has tactical similarities to the continuing U.S. mission there, fundamentally, the two could not be more different. The U.S. has 19,000 troops...
