Campus activism entered Adams House dining hall Friday, as Adams residents Alexander H. deWeese '98-'01 and Amanda C. Davis '01 gathered 200 signatures in support of a Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO) petition to increase affordable housing in the Boston area...
...would hope the medical community could provide some of the support she lacks in her personal life. Instead, Wit depicts a series of cold, impersonal doctors and technicians whose primary concern, beneath the senseless formalities they are required to spew, is research. In all fairness, each does work with relative competence to save Dr. Bearing's life in the face of metastasized cancer, but only one character attempts to salvage the vanishing shreds of the patient's dignity in the process.

Gil Garcetti believes there could be thousands more, while Parks estimates that the cost of the ensuing lawsuits could run into the hundreds of millions. "When this initially happened," notes Reed, "the people in the Rampart neighborhood came out and supported the police. The CRASH division had gotten gang activity under control and people began to feel they had gotten their neighborhood back. But once the details of the investigation started coming to light, that support quickly ended." While nothing as embarrassing or threatening as a federal investigation into the department...
