Online Love

By Deborah Wassel | January 11, 2006

I've always been fascinated by the dating ritual. This impossibly complicated two-step has got everyone crazy and confused.

Pork, NASCAR and Corruption

By Jon Wisniewski | January 10, 2006

There has been a lot of talk recently about Congressional corruption. Quite a few scandals are erupting and it appears that the Republican-controlled Capitol Hill is repeating the errors of its predecessors in varying degrees of gravity.

To the Editor: I was pleased to read the coverage of the recent summit meeting between many college and university presidents (including President Wright) and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice ("Wright attends summit piloted by Pres.

World Baseball Classic

By Tim Mosso | January 9, 2006

Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig's dream of a "World Baseball Classic" between competing national all-star teams may join the XFL and the Lingerie Bowl in the pantheon of laughably misbegotten sports promotions.

Enjoy Winter While It Lasts

By Donald Groves | January 9, 2006

To the Editor: Kudos to the writer, Deborah Wassel '07 ("Winter Woes, Begone," Jan. 6). As a kid in Hanover '54-'58 and a Dartmouth grad of '66, I have to say I shared a different perspective.

Verbum Ultimum

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | January 6, 2006

While we enthusiastically applaud Dartmouth for its need-blind admissions policy, we wonder whether it is being exercised to its fullest possible extent. The case in point here is Dartmouth's continued use of its early decision program.

Many Dartmouth students shy away from the frigid New Hampshire winters. Some even make their Dartmouth Plans so that they never have to experience the dreaded Winter term after freshman year.

Shape Up, 'Shmen

By Johannes Thum | January 5, 2006

It's the start of another Dartmouth term. At this point, all I can say is, "Meh."

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy here.

Abramoff the Insider

By Sara del Nido | January 5, 2006

Yesterday's front page picture of Jack Abramoff in the New York Times depicted a man who could have come straight out of "The Godfather." The grim facial expression, black trench coat, and throwback-to-the-forties fedora are clear illustrations of the prominent Republican lobbyist's famously flamboyant personality.
