...acting as a representative of the entire Harvard community in selecting the "15 hottest frosh." Hence, the lack of diversity expressed seems a reflection of a lack of proper representation. Thus the issue at hand is not about personal taste, but rather a reflection of a misconstrued vision of beauty that has left out some of the most beautiful people on campus, whether intentionally or not. I hope that the editors will take more precaution in trying to prevent the perpetuation of the "whitewashing" of society's ideas of beauty...
That's the vision of many telecommunications firms, which recognize that in an age of satellites and fiber optics, it is almost as easy to serve customers in Bhutan as in Manhattan.

A village view, so to speak. Now we live in a different country. Is it a better country? In some ways, yes. In many ways, no. The mainstreaming of drugs, guns, pornography and raw cultural sewage is not much of an improvement. For all the genius of our technology, there is loose in the land an ambient moral stupidity born of a fatal old overemphasis on "feelings," as in the Rocker sanction...
