...suggested, we will revisit it again this year. It's worth noting that this same process led to outstanding results in the Canadian Rhodes and British Marshall Scholarships competitions this year. The Crimson's headline last Monday said Harvard had been "shut out" this year, an approach that seems wrong. Rhodes Scholarships aren't simply prizes that schools collect, but opportunities for students. As U.S. Rhodes Secretary Elliot Gerson '74 told The Crimson, "We choose individuals, not colleges." I appreciate the disappointment our U.S. Rhodes candidates may feel, but I hope we will all take the success of our Canadian...
...fact that Americans' perception of the supply of energy is woefully out of whack with reality (and hence so is the market's), the unbridled free market's effect on the energy situation is nonetheless undesirable. True, demand might go down in response to higher prices, but precisely the wrong group would be affected: as usual, the poor. Do we really want to fall back on the situation of the early 20th century where electricity was a luxury of the rich? There was a reason that President Franklin D. Roosevelt '04 undertook the Rural Electrification Project. He believed that electricity...

But it's actually the passion to be first, even at the cost of being wrong, as election night proved. Reversing themselves several times didn't encourage the networks to admit at four in the morning that the race was too close to call, that we were in a statistical dead heat and the outcome would have to await, at the very least, an automatic recount. Ever...
What went wrong? Eiland has one of the army's keenest analytical minds. He speaks almost entirely in neatly memorized lists, usually organized in fives. His clear, blue eyes don't blink as he runs through the army's mistakes. Foremost is Israel's failure to acquire nonlethal weapons for riot control. At riots on the edges of every Palestinian town, the army progresses quickly from tear gas to rubber-coated metal bullets to live ammunition--though Eiland says the last step comes only when a soldier feels his life is clearly in danger or when Palestinians open fire...
...wrong for Americans to relentlessly denounce countries that conduct elections that we deem to be unfair, fraudulent or illegal, yet when the same circumstances arise in our own country, assume partisan positions and pursue arguments that evade these very issues. The example we set will last much longer than the next President's term. DAVE BARKER Chicago...
