...having “worked really hard” and “listened to workers’ needs.” Yet these offers have proven unacceptable to the dozen workers on the union’s bargaining team who know that their families need more than an extra dollar and change to get by. Most currently earn less than $10 per hour. These wage and benefit proposals degrade the value of janitors’ work and insult their families’ needs. Harvard’s intransigence at the bargaining table is so offensive that Edgar Barrios...
...sourcebooks held on reserve in College libraries or departmental offices, but with so few extra copies the attempt is often more trouble than it’s worth. Ever try to find that critical reading a day or two before lecture when dozens of students from a class of 100 are vying for two copies held at Lamont and one at Hilles...
...Sourcebooks should be sold in three ring binders, rather than bound by tape or spiral, so students can more easily share and copy. Departments should make available copies of the compiled sourcebooks completely unbound and printed on single sided sheets. The University, or perhaps the Undergraduate Council, should buy extra high-volume hopper-fed photocopiers, which the students could use to make their own copies of the sourcebook material, in a way that legally exempts them from paying copyright. Whoever provides the copiers is likely profit handsomely in the process...

Milosevic then spent two days justifying his actions - and will go into extra time for an hour-and-a-half this week - after which the prosecution will produce its first witness. Milosevic, who doesn't recognize the tribunal's legitimacy, is conducting his own defense and seems to consider attack the best form. With aggressive gestures, he called the prosecution case "an ocean...
