...Presley Professor of Social Medicine Paul Farmer, a charity dance, and the sale of the much-discussed shirts. “I like them because they don’t say ‘We’re raising awareness for HIV victims,’ but I can understand what they mean,” said George A.

We understand that the Coop is a business—and a necessary one at that. There will always be students who need their books immediately, and the Coop should be able to charge extra for providing that convenience. The Coop, however, does not own ISBNs—as Jonathan L. Zittrain, the director of the Law School’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, has said. ISBNs are facts, and the unique combinations of ISBNs...
