...grew up as a reader in a house full of books. At first I started with children's classics like Robinson Crusoe and Julie of the Wolves. Just as I was entering my teens, though, I discovered my father's collection of mystery novels. I snuck the works of Chandler, Hammett, and others up to my bedroom and read them under the covers late at night, when I was sure that my parents were asleep. Ellroy's The Black Dahlia, which he calls "a valediction in blood," left me sleepless and staring at the ceiling for weeks, sure that...

I certainly intend to represent grievances which are on principle constructively critical, on occasion irreverent and when necessary, even harsh...
...newspaper to all undergraduates, The Crimson has gone from being primarily a faculty/administrative journal to one which needs to reflect student life closely through more direct interaction with the campus community. There have been a number of encouraging initiatives at The Crimson in this direction. This position of reader representative is but one of them...
