...remedy this problem, Harvard should investigate the feasibility of installing galvanometers and hot water flow guages in individual suites. Then the University could directly bill rooming groups only for the energy they actually use. If monthly billing is deemed too inefficient, Harvard could levy a special surcharge on students who exceed a maximum threshold...
...installing individual meters is too costly, the University could consider a policy in effect at several other schools and levy a special annual fee on users of electrical appliances (something like $5 per computer, $15 per stereo or microwave, $25 per television, etc.).

It has also recognized the good served by the airing of alleged government misconduct and granted the press special leeway in those cases. The CNN dispute fits squarely into that mould. The power that the national media can wield may be frightening, but it is mild in comparison to the danger of placing editorial decisions in the hands of the judiciary. Moreover, given the questionable complicity between Noriega and the United States Government, we cannot allow that secrecy to continue...
