...approached guest Jonathan Alter, a former Crimson editor and current Newsweek correspondent. As Noah spoke, the rest of us surrounded him in a silent circle. But luckily, Alter took our silence as pure awe and invited us to follow him over to the Gore campaign party. Although none of us were enamored with the stoic VP, we decided that his shindig would be thoroughly more intriguing than trailing McCain to Nashua. Skating across the ice to the lovely Holiday Inn, we followed Alter as he described his work at the magazine and his exhilaration on election night. We, plebian, pseudo...

The program has been kept off the campus for decades, although the reasoning has changed. Initially, the University booted ROTC in 1969 after pressure from members of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) stormed University Hall and took over the administrative offices over night to protest the Vietnam War.

Although the attacks last week were against mostly consumer-oriented websites and did not rise to the level of threats to national security, one can only imagine the types of services--commerce, communications, the operations of government--that would be susceptible to attack in a year or five-years' time, when the Internet will be even more ubiquitous. If these attacks were accomplished by a few disaffected "script kiddies" or the proverbial 15-year-old in his parents' basement, one can only imagine what could...
