...habits (without even going outside!), to the Fogg Museum, where students are only a short walk away from being able to stab a priceless piece of art in brief spurt of psychological madness, our campus’s facilities shine. However, Harvard outdoes its peers by far with its river housing: Just two weeks ago, for example, Winthrop House’s gym flooded with human excrement. A normal person may consider sewage in the gym to be less of a service than a threat to public health, but that’s a naïve dichotomy. A threat...

Village head Tsering Kundan recalled the rush of optimism when Norphel's glacier was first built in 2001.

The Northeast quarter of the state, which includes the old blast furnace towns of Cleveland, Akron and Youngstown, is a Democratic stronghold; the Southeast quarter that hugs the Ohio River is a far less populous slice of Appalachia that owes more to Kentucky than Cleveland. Southwest Ohio, anchored by businesslike Cincinnati, is Republican country, where George W. Bush won huge margins and narrowly captured the state in 2004. That leaves white-collar Columbus and table-flat northwest Ohio, the reliable...
