...some gays rightly feel duped by someone who was supposed to be a leader. Adams’s insistence that he never had the relationship was emphatic, and critics’ insistence that their objections to Adams are based on his dishonesty and not on his sexuality are similarly vehement; in both cases, the accused doth protest too much...
...erstwhile elite status, has taken this entitlement to a new, breezier level: by taking off their pants. Dimitry A. Doohovskoy ’09, Eliot HoCo Co-chair, organized a “Pants-less Dining Experience” for the residents of Eliot House last Thursday.

Both have promised to scrub the Federal Government for waste, fraud and abuse - a perennial pledge, but one that will actually need to be met if either man hopes to have the credibility to propose any new government spending. Obama wants to spend more than McCain, so he has to work harder to prove his reform chops. Indeed, Obama has tacitly acknowledged the prevailing skepticism by building accountability into some...
