...Crimson's arguments come down to simple pessimism about the prospects for changing an entrenched institution. As the Undergraduate Council is, the paper suggests, it shall remain--at least for the foreseeable future. Reformers must despair. PUCC's active and growing membership disagrees. Mr. Chung ends with the despondent coda, "I'll see you on a cold October night at the [council-sponsored] Gala Ball." Mr. Chung can do whatever he likes with his October nights. PUCC will be working, hopefully and collaboratively, to transform Harvard's politics in the interest of all students. --Garance Franke-Ruta '96-'97 Tobias...
...bitter coda to its videotaped, six-minute reenactment ofSusan Smith's car sinking with her two young boys inside, the prosecution rested its case in the sentencing phase today by showing stone-faced jurors photographs ofthe drowned children. Since the trial began, TIME's Lisa Towle notes, Judge William Howard has disallowed all photos of the boys, and today he prevented the prosecution from displaying full-body or face-on shots.

He likens America's treatment of gays to the Holocaust and, in an embarrassing coda, leads his rambunctious flock to the gates of sexual and political freedom without quite being able to enter himself. The truth is somewhat different: Milk was an engaging if slightly goofy pol whose defining moment to most San Franciscans was his televised illustration of how to obey the pooper-scooper law. While the Milk legend may not be justified, Korie does use it to create a narrative that pulls the listener...
...wrought for a moody Scandinavian scion: "Living or not living: that is what I ask." Or an alcoholic bard's notoriously rhythmical night thoughts: "'Twas upon a midnight tristful I sat poring, wan and wistful/ Through many a quaint and curious list full of my consorts slain." A mournful coda follows: "Quoth that Black Bird, 'Not again...
