JOHNSON: The idea that we are moving into the "daily me" idea--in which you have [the world] tailored to your particular sensibility and you're not being exposed to new ideas--is wrong. And, in fact, there was a Pew study a while ago that [showed that] people who spent more time online had more exposure to differing worldviews than people who didn't spend time online. And [that's because] we assume that exposure to differing viewpoints makes us more tolerant of those viewpoints. I just don't necessarily think that's true. If you're somebody...
...House officials learned about the arrest Friday night from news accounts, and Bush was asked about it Saturday morning when he met briefly with reporters following a Roosevelt Room briefing by military officials on efforts to combat Iraqi insurgents' improvised explosive devices.

By pre-assigning freshmen to Houses, Harvard would at last begin to take...
...Likewise, it is simply a statement of anger to express your ideas in the way of the “Elena Posters.” The appropriate analogy is if someone posted, “Hate Bush” (or more aptly, “You’re WRONG!”) signs on my front door. The trouble again: it’s unnecessarily divisive. Instead of looking for any kind of common ground, this deliberately flattens an intensely painful and complicated issue. It also happens to misrepresent the pro-choice members of this campus as bloodthirsty baby...
