Harvard students and Square workers tend to clash over the locale of their initial dates. For even though Harvard students spend a lot of time here—at Harvard—it seems many of them would prefer to keep their dates on safe, home turf. This makes little sense to real people who aren’t cursed with Crimson-tinted tunnel vision. Burk, who has dated more than 20 Harvard students and three professors in the past three years, has always simply assumed these women wanted to be taken downtown and introduced into the wider world...
...prevent turf wars and overlap, some charities have begun clustering together by need. Funds for mental health, scholarships and the various fire-fighter and police funds have all made inroads by divvying up territory and working together. But far too many still don't know the territory. The N.Y.P.D. says 4,136 people are dead or missing; the New York Times estimate is 2,950. Whichever figure turns out to be closer to the truth, the real problem is that traffic at local assistance centers is tapering off. That's why some charities are actually thrilled to hear those...
...probably much more. A senior U.S. official in Pakistan says American ground forces will ultimately need to mount lethal raids in the heart of Taliban country, to prove to the regime that the U.S. is willing and able to cut them down.

Last week Rumsfeld acknowledged as much when he defended the military's use of flesh-shredding cluster bombs on Taliban trenches. "They are being used on front-line al-Qaeda...
...Challenger space shuttle, which killed a high school teacher from Concord, N.H., who was a passenger on board, have American students watched such a personal calamity unfold live on television. The Persian Gulf War took place in a distant land. And while the Columbine massacre happened on student turf and was the product of obvious derangement, it did not carry the generalized threat of holy war against all Americans at any time and in any place. The magnitude and spectacle of last month's terrorist attacks means that children far from New York and Washington may feel "a sense...
What followed was animation’s Renaissance. Disney, startled out of its complacent slumber and determined not to be outdone on its own turf, released The Little Mermaid in 1989. The previous year had seen Oliver and Company look essentially like every Disney animated movie before it. But The Little Mermaid was different. Its colors were brighter, its characters more clearly defined, its music simply better. Disney had broken its inertia in the world of animation technology and (after briefly dipping back into uninspired territory with The Rescuers Down Under) proved it by following The Little Mermaid with...
