...ensure that this trial month effectively measures student demand, Harvard must devote resources to publicizing the new services—raising awareness about the transport options available and the dangers of walking alone at night. Also, scheduled night-time shuttle routes are much less preferable than the personalized pickup provided by the Evening Shuttle Van. Many students are unlikely to wait a half hour if they miss the shuttle, and those students who are forced to travel long distances just in order to reach a shuttle stop are liable to forego the shuttle altogether...
...these cases, McLoughlin stresses that an HUPD pickup and transport, as always, remains an option for any student who feels uncomfortable with his or her safety. In fact, McLoughlin suggested that HUPD pickups might ultimately fill in for any “unproductive hours” identified during the trial period. But HUPD is not a fair substitute for transportation service. Many students are averse to being transported in a HUPD vehicle—especially when intoxicated—and some students have expressed frustration at calling HUPD for rides in the past, complaining of long delays...
...half-hour before Mohammed Jamil ended his life, he was a busy man. As he sat in a pickup truck loaded with C4 plastic explosives, he made and received no fewer than 109 calls on his cell phone, talking, at least in some cases, to accomplices in his effort to incinerate the President of Pakistan.

...sleeves as Dean. He was congenitally pugnacious, a former boxer (Dean was a wrestler). He claimed to provide a voice for the voiceless--albeit a set of alienated Americans very different from Dean's affluent Net surfers. Wallace voters were, well, white guys with Confederate flags on their pickup trucks. And he was a formidable national candidate. In 1972, he won Democratic primaries in Michigan and Maryland. His slogan--"Send them a message"--could easily be Dean's. In fact, Kerry has taken to saying "We need to send them more than a message, we need to send them...
