...approximately two weeks ago, when everyone and their mother started to wear leggings, I started to get panic attacks. I couldn’t believe that people were subjecting themselves to this particular brand of torture once again. It seemed so anachronistic and evil for the fashion designers to resurrect them. Were they in a coalition to incite anxiety in their favorite daughter—yours truly? I ended up reasoning with myself, of course. “Fashion designers can never really be ‘wrong,’ in the traditional sense,” I repeated...
...proposition. Unless a majority of the council votes to return to the issue at its Dec. 19 meeting, it will pass to the council’s next session, which begins in 2006, and it will be up to the membership of that council to decide whether to resurrect it. Two members of the Cambridge School Committee denounced Galluccio’s proposal as invasive and unnecessary. “The simple asking [for an outside audit] has cast aspersions” on the integrity of the School Committee’s financial data, said Benjamin R.

...more often. With an intense unblinking glare and deft swordplay, Mridula S. Raman ’06 was effectively scary as single-mindedly evil Mahisha. In Saavitri’s story, a young woman follows the god of death, Yama, into the underworld and entreats him to resurrect her husband from the dead.

The ways of presidential resurrection are many. We've seen sagging Presidents revive their fortunes in a trice. In 1995 Bill Clinton had to insist that he was "still relevant" in a city that had fallen in love with Newt Gingrich's Republican revolution. But a few days later, he was a hero again after his eloquent handling of the Oklahoma City tragedy...
...solution to bad government isn’t more government; only in politics does colossal failure lead to increased funding. Instead of attempting to resurrect New Orleans by sheer force of bureaucratic will, the federal government should limit itself to rebuilding basic public infrastructures, like roads, and take a few simple steps to empower victims, helping individuals to help themselves. To its credit, the Bush administration has taken some steps in the right direction. Regulatory relief, which encourages entrepreneurship and reduces the cost of rebuilding, will help. So will the innovative Urban Homesteading Act, which, by allowing victims to gain...
