...council so hated? The problem is that the council has not successfully executed the kind of campus life initiatives that many students desire. We have yet to see improvements to the MAC, cable TV in the dorms, a student center or the other fantasies that most Harvard students never expect to see. Are these improvements particularly extravagant? Not really. A student center is almost ubiquitous on college campuses. Cable TV is maybe a little extravagant, but it is still fairly common for college dorms to be wired for cable. Regardless, we want our student representatives to fight for these improvements...
...some shortsighted politicians, such a wholesale rejection at the polls might bring thoughts of payback. Yet even some of Bush's strongest black opponents, such as Chicago Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., say they expect just the opposite from George W. Appointing Powell and Rice, they say, would be a way for Bush to court the group that spurned him most. "I've heard Republican strategists like Newt Gingrich argue that if they could just get 15% of the black vote, they would be in power for a millennium," says Jackson, who at 35 is showing signs of being as wily...
...anything, the trouble is that the show seems rather weak on them. Good that it includes Road Agent, a fabulously slick tomato of a chariot built and lacquered by Ed ("Big Daddy") Roth, dean of car customizers, back in 1963. But if there's one custom job you'd expect to see in a show about the growth of a California ethos but don't get a hint of, it's the kind of long-forked, stripped-down Harley chopper that starred in Easy Rider 35 years...
Tariq Ramadan has the measured delivery of an academic, which is no more than you would expect from a man who used to be a high school principal and wrote his doctoral thesis on Nietzsche. But as the leading Islamic thinker among Europe's second- and third-generation Muslim immigrants, the Geneva-based university lecturer also inspires a good deal of mistrust--from both Arab Muslims for his Western sensibility and Westerners for his controversial Islamic roots. Ramadan, 38, is the grandson of Hassan al-Banna, founder, in 1928, of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic revival movement that spread from...
...perhaps more likely to swing over to Gore's side - although some consider O'Connor a more likely defector. Both Kennedy and O'Connor have (and jealously guard) reputations as consensus-builders, and are often the decisive votes in extremely controversial cases, including recent abortion-rights rulings. Don't expect to read any grand political statements into either of these Justices' votes; Kennedy, in particular, seems inured to the political ramifications of Court rulings, and tends to examine each case on a purely legal and intellectual level - more so than other Justices whose political connections render them far easier...
