...simple: the left must organize itself to counteract this new force, using similar computerized-mailing tactics if necessary. More important, liberals who feel the nation has abandoned them should look at the history of the election itself and its candidates before they leave the country. The 1980 presidential election cannot truly be called a defeat for liberalism because no liberal was on the ballot as a major candidate. Neither Carter nor Anderson presented economic or foreign policies that were fundamentally different from the Republican tradition of fiscal conservatism and increased defense spending. Carter’s defeat represents a setback...
...lastly, Harvard’s efforts at land development yielded controversy at the Sumner Road apartments, a story that bears no small similarity to the recent dispute over the Charlesview apartments in Allston. George Santayana’s old adage comes to mind, that “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” If there is any solace here, it is that the eminent philosopher was, through and through, a Harvard...

...have learned the simple truth, as Emerson said, that ‘the only way to have a friend is to be one.’” The values of human equality and dignity that bind us to the rest of the world cannot be taught or presented in neat packages but must be learned individually from experience, curiosity, and struggle. Sure, that neo-hippie experiment of a high school I attended has gotten to my head, but I like this idea of global citizenship more than the stiff formulations of corporate globalization (even if I do have...
