...long to wait.Harvard is the only Ivy League school that doesn’t have a student center. Princeton’s Frist Center has become the poster-child case for what might be. “It’s sort of like students’ home base on-campus,” wrote Princeton Undergraduate Student Government President Leslie B. Joseph in an e-mail. The Frist holds classrooms, dining areas, meeting space, a theater, and a “multipurpose room” for such uses as important conferences and “Princetonian Idol?...

Whereas 20 years ago the Greens relied on people under 30 for most of their support, today their base is aging and the bulk of their vote comes from Germans in their 40s and 50s. Jan Böttcher, a 27-year-old law student at the Free University of Berlin, voted for the fdp, with their emphasis on free-market policies. "The big difference between...
