...post was a prestigious one. Graphics at The New York Times are seen as not just as artwork and design elements, but as pieces of journalism in themselves, Jones says, and the challenge was always to "find a way to underscore something, simplify something, explain something," all the while keeping true to the story...
...perhaps unprecedented for The Crimson to say this, but we hope the city and the College treat the Lampoon with some leniency. The Lampoon claims that the repeated false alarms at the castle have been due to a faulty fire alarm. (Although, of course, that wouldn't explain the burnt newspaper the fire investigator found after the May 16 call to the 'Poon.)

While my heart goes out to those mothers whose children were killed through the misuse of guns [NATION, May 15], to simply blame the gun is a cop-out. Few parents take the time to explain the seriousness of a gun. When I was young, my father took me to a target range and under close supervision allowed me to fire a gun. That loud bang, the "kick" of the gun and the fact that I couldn't even hit the target taught me a more valuable lesson--respect. RICHARD L. BURT DeBary...
