...fairness, if we were Russia, we'd be scared too. In recent years, the West has done precious little to reassure this former adversary. The International Monetary Fund has given Russia billions of dollars in loans but failed to create a stable economy. The U.S. Senate has resolved to create an ICBM protective shield once it becomes technologically feasible. Such a shield would allow the United States to launch a nuclear strike with impunity, a prospect that is understandably frightening to the Russians, not to mention Dartboard...
...under U.S. laws that deal with Cuba, relatives here can claim that Elian is a political and economic refugee. Still, the more direct blood ties legally favor Elian's father and the boy's four grandparents, who have played a major role in his upbringing. Elian has been especially precious to his parents because they suffered through seven miscarriages before he was born. Juan Miguel told TIME that he sold his car last week to pay for the international phone calls he plans to make to Elian, including the first one last Friday. "The law is the law," he says...
...view now is a sampler of works by member artists Jackie Bayne, Tom Cole, Michael Long, Erica Moody, Steve Morell, Rebecca Tasker and Mitch Rosenberg, selected by Bernie Toale of the Bernard Toale Gallery.

...less interested in participating in House events. Social life for many students is moving off-campus, and a House-centered social system is seriously threatened. Undergraduates spend increasing amounts of time in extracurricular organizations, yet student groups are severely under-funded and must fight with Extension School classes for precious meeting and performing space. I believe that the problems of both student groups and the Houses can be alleviated through a mutually beneficial system of student group-House affiliation. The College must take action to ensure that student groups can continue their activities and to ensure that Houses remain...
...only student passing precious time concocting plans. Never before my arrival in Cambridge had I met so many who shared my obsession with lists, who also made lists of the lists they had to make. A year ago, visions of sugarplums dancing 'round in our heads, FM's executive board churned out sheets upon sheets of big ideas. JP was talking color. Alicia made posters outlining a new set of deadlines. Aaron carried a clear plastic briefcase crammed with schedules, and Anna and I spent 15 straight hours attempting to revive Groovy Train in one fell swoop...
