One of the most interesting women I have ever met has spent 20 years of her life working with undocumented immigrants at the border of the United States and Mexico.
America is a low-tax country, with one of the least progressive tax systems in the world. In order to permanently close the federal deficit, all we need to do is raise marginal tax rates on the rich.
At First-Year Family Weekend two weeks ago, my normally teetotaler friend escorted his Danish relative to one of the Dartmouth frats to show her the archetypical American college drinking scene.
After four years here, one Dartmouth phenomenon I've never been able to fully understand is Student Assembly bashing.
In his commencement address last week at the University of South Carolina's College of Arts and Sciences, former United States Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman called on young Americans to give back and serve their country.

The Book of Proverbs reads, "Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth" (Proverbs 24:1718, King James Version). Upon reflection on Sunday night's events, very few are disappointed with Osama bin Laden's death at the hands of U.S.
