While voters may remain suspicious of the smooth-talking politicians on the national stage who make big promises to hide their ulterior motives, this undergraduate class of political activists has proven to be sincere in their campaign efforts. Harvard students in both the Dems and the HRC find fuel for their fire in a desire to actually make a change on a larger scale, rather than merely booking their schedules with resume-padding activities. Each race, no matter what the pre-election polls report, can be lost, leaving volunteers who have given everything with absolutely nothing to show...
...goosebumps, it's the actors that turn the scream volume up. "People know the other stuff isn't real - the pop-up head or severed hand - but actors are real," explains Pickel. Plus, an actor can strike just at the right time to startle. "They know where the chickens hide," says Pickel, "always in the middle of the group." Haunted houses give people an opportunity to find out how they would react to a life-or-death situation in a safe environment, adds Pickel.

Second, the juxtaposition of the two words makes it sound like “faith” and “reason” are parallel and equivalent ways of knowing, and we have to help students navigate between them. But universities...
...China doesn't like being told what to do in its own backyard by the United States. But neither its leaders in Beijing nor the ordinary working people of Dandong hide their frustration with the North Koreans. Squatting by the side of the road and smoking a cigarette, a young Chinese man clears his throat and spits. "Those stupid bastards, look how far they are behind us." He gestures to the other side of the river where the trucks crossing the bridge disappear into a solid wall of night, the electricity-starved North Korean town bathed in blackness. The flashily...
