With promises to push for greater budgeting transparency and to accommodate a wider range of campus tastes, Kevin M. Mee ’10 and James A. McFadden ’10 were elected as chair and vice-chair of the the 20-person College Events Board Monday night...
...hard to stay loyal to liberal markets when voters are demanding action in the middle of an economic meltdown. Nowhere has that been more evident than in Britain - long the European Union's most enthusiastic cheerleader of American-style deregulation and free trade. On Monday, U.K. unions held a repeat of last week's wildcat strikes protesting a decision by a French-owned oil plant to bring in 300 Italian and Portuguese contract laborers.

Serial flurries starting on Sunday had by Monday morning spread a nice little blanket of snow across the British capital. It was only 6 inches deep, but it managed to shut down or sharply curtail service on most Tube lines, it caused chaos at airports, and it halted London's entire fleet of red buses. As disgruntled commuters were quick to point out, unlike today, buses continued running throughout intensive aerial bombardment during...
