Boston.com  December 31, 2007
A RELATIVE called the other night to make sure I had heard the good news: Harvard announced that it was now going to be more accessible to the middle class.
I smiled - just as I did when I first read the Harvard pronouncement. Sure, Harvard was now going to spend a little [...]

Politics: Ron Paul gets wacky on Lincoln

I dunno, but Ron Paul seems a bit clueless about a bunch of things.  Had Ron Paul been president in place of James Buchanan, would Lincoln’s plight been any different?
