...Nixon and the Iraq war. And he was a staunch anti-communist. His fixed star was the idea of human freedom. A sure applause line in presidential candidate Barack Obama's speeches this year holds that "it's possible to disagree without being disagreeable." William F. Buckley Jr. was proof...
...started on the job because of her willingness to put her life on the line - with 12 stitches in her heard as proof of it. In late 2003, as lawlessness gripped the city in the wake of the U.S. invasion, five burglars broker into her home late one night and demanded to know where the money was. Odhaib fought.

...desperate effort to keep the beat: Harvard students are not particularly graceful with their bodies. But Friday night’s attendees are to be commended for their willingness to disregard the gin-soaked naysayers and let down their hair. At the very least, the Underground Rave is proof positive that proper dancing rivals any drunk. Steven A. Franklin ’10 counts himself among the converted. The rave was not his typical scene; that usually involves some combination of Pizza Ring, PBR, and “Family Guy” DVDs. But he was all smiles when...
