...interests of democracy, it is clear that the Democrats and Republicans should not have a stranglehold on the debates (and therefore the election). Candidates should not be forced to conform to either of their platforms in order to have a chance in American politics. For all the differences that exist between Vice President Al Gore '69 and Texas Gov. George W. Bush, they think alike on many important issues: Both are pro-free trade, neither are isolationist and both favor more military spending...
...change anyone's mind about the pill--but they could have an effect if they persuade enough doctors that entering this minefield is dangerous to their health and practice. The tactic has worked well for years now; in much of the country, Roe v. Wade might as well not exist, and the only way the abortion pill changes that is if doctors everywhere decide to offer it.

The Cambridge City Police reported last year that most violence in the Square was directed at the homeless by other homeless people. Youths, lacking a haven at night, are the most vulnerable targets...
...common space integrated with our lives does not need to be built; many exist around us and can be better used to create many lively centers of community. Houses and dormitories are more natural hubs for community than a student center, and activities and services that focus on these existing units will achieve far more success than the engineered and artificial Loker commons or a student center would...
