...Hurricane Hugo Hugo Chávez's speech at the U.N. General Assembly, in which he called President George W. Bush the devil, made no contribution to peace [Oct. 2].

Across the street from them, about a dozen counter-protestors from the Harvard Republican Club accused the progressive protestors of "telling lies about the military...
Brandon M. Terry ’05, former president of the Black Men’s Forum and co-founder of “Vote or Die,” said that in the past many black students didn’t run because they lacked campaigning experience...
