...request for a manual recount of 14,000 disputed ballots is justified. If Bush can counter that over 1 million votes need to be manually recounted, there will not be enough time to count the votes before the electors must vote on Dec. 12--Bush will win by default. Pretty clever Dubya, a great way to win an election indeed. What was that you said about being "a uniter and not a divider...
...honor system would also be a good exercise in self-governance. Whereas the Undergraduate Council is a relatively detached and periphery organization to those who are not involved, an honor system involves the entire campus by default. The inclusiveness of an honor system cannot help but to increase the sense of community responsibility, respect and cohesion...
...particular moment, I can now tell you, I joined an increasing number of Harvard students who have recently found themselves afflicted by malicious computer programs. Computer viruses, worms and trojans have been spreading across the Internet and the campus with ever-increasing speed, especially as e-mail becomes the default method of communication.

The ILOVEYOU virus that gained so much notoriety this summer, for example, caused an estimated $7 billion in damages and struck from Manila...

The Offspring is at their best when they're not taking themselves too seriously, and that shows up whether turning punk conventions on their ear or incorporating eccentric sensibilities into their music. However, if you don't fully listen to the lyrics, you'll miss the point.

Similarly easy...
What's unbuckled, in places, is the melancholy, which may be the emotional default mode of a man who has buried good friends--Gianni Versace, Princess Diana--and lost others to AIDS. The Elton John who wrote Daniel, with its baffled yearning, is the one who loves the blue-tinted male nudes of John Dugdale, with their Victorian grief. The somber undercurrent is plain even in Andres Serrano's vivid crimson circle in a rectangle of bright yellow, which on closer inspection turns out to be a pool of blood...
