Today, in a Rhode Island federal court, Harvard Law School Profe...
Last night, Harvard’s Peer Contraceptive Counselors (PCC) held an open discussion on all things sex. Aptly titled “Sextalk: How to get what you want (in bed),” the event was designed to give attendees a forum to discuss sensitive issues with like-minded peers.
Of course, the forum, while open to everyone, was intended for undergraduates—the un...

According to IvyGate, graduating seniors with aspirations of making it on Wall Street should re-evaluate their short-term career goals–as soon as possible.
Speaking to an unidentified Ivy-Leaguer-turned-investment-banker, Dan Haley confirmed that, due to the current economic climate, internships at financial firms have become the unicorn of th...
Last week, the Nixon Library released over 198 hours of President Richard Nixon ranting and raving about--more or less--everything.
From the press to the Ivy League, Old Dick Nixon hated it all, and he wasn’t afraid to let everyone within an earshot know it—whether they cared to listen or not.
Thankfully, the mad ramblings of this presidenti...
Outside of Harvard, few have probably heard of Peter Shields, who performs under the moniker Petros -- but for a good reason.
You see, our male Britney’s popularity has unfortunately—or fortunately, depending on one’s love for all things tacky, wacky pop—been confined to a remote, desolate sector of Youtube.
Thankfully, it’s never too late t...
In the span of four months, Harvard’s $36.9 billion endowment, which is currently the largest in the world, fell by 22 percent, or roughly $8 billion.
Eight. Billion. Dollars.
Think about that number for a second: that’s larger than the Gross National Product of more than ten countries, and it’s almost certainly a greater sum than the endowm...
For the uninitiated (and/or our international readers), January 20th is the day President-elect Barack Obama officially completes his transition into the White House. Coincidentally, it’s also the day we kick George W.’s ass to the curb and begin the long, arduous process of burying him underneath the annals of history. Win-win!
On that day, m...
During the course of the terrorist assault on Mumbai, more than 180 lives were lost.
For Alisha Mashruwala ’11 and many other Harvard students, the attacks in Mumbai hit close to home, as many of them still have family and friends living in the now-devastated city.
Speaking to the Harvard Crimson, Alisha told reporters that, on the night of ...
Despite Boston’s attempt to rain on everyone’s parade with their draconian alcohol laws, the Harvard-Yale tailgate went off without a hitch.
As everyone knows, the best way to gauge the “success” of any collegiate shindig is by reviewing the number of alcohol-related hospitalizations, and this year, there were nine in total, which is admittedl...
For the second year in a row, the Harvard Crimson dominated the Yale Bulldogs, shutting out their longtime rivals 10-0 in the 125th edition of the Game.
Of course, this result should come as a surprise to no one, especially after Yale’s 37-6 beating last year. Even those wearing the tacky blue-and-white sweaters must admit that it was wholly e...
Harvard University, one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the world, currently has a $36.9 billion endowment that they accumulated through investments, donations and tuition.
Think about that number for a second: $36,900,000,000. With such a fortune, one could support themselves and a small country for several years.

Comedian Andy Borowitz graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, where he was president of the humor magazine the Harvard Lampoon, which you would never guess if you’ve ever seen Square Pegs, that horrifying 1980’s television series where he got his start as a screenwriter. Borowitz went on to represent black people as actual people in The Fresh P...
That’s right – the Harvard Crimson staff just laid down the gauntlet to their bitter rivals, and now, it’s up to the Yale Daily News editorial team to pick it up and bludgeon them with it.
On November 22nd, the Yale Bulldogs will face off against the Harvard Crimson for the 125th time in one of the most anticipated games of the Ivy League seas...
It seems the infamous Eliot Spitzer will get away with his prostitution fun… except of course for losing his job. The former New York governor will not face criminal charges, announced prosecutors today.
Last spring, Spitzer was revealed to be a customer of the Emperors Club VIP, a call girl ring busted by the Feds. Turns out, the honorable p...
Michael Crichton, an author, producer and doctor, died at the age of 66 yesterday after a battle with cancer.
Crichton is probably best known for writing Jurassic Park and creating the television show ER. Having attended Harvard for both undergrad and med school, Crichton obviously used his medical knowledge in his creations. He was both extre...
For music-downloadin’ students everywhere, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is the boogieman – an ethereal entity that you hear frightening stories about and hope you never encounter.
But, not all students are lucky enough to Matrix dodge the “You’re getting sued for copyright infringement” bullet.

Three months ago, no one cared about Wasilla, Alaska or its residents. Today, thanks to John McCain’s running mate, that shanty little town in the middle of nowhere is all people talk about – especially when criticizing Sarah Palin’s qualifications.
In the lead up to November 4th, everyone who has been to or lived in Wasilla has become a value...
Not since Elizabeth Taylor converted to Judaism for Mike Todd have newspapers been so abuzz with the word “shiksa,” but with reports that Ivanka Trump is converting for the Harvard-educated Observer owner Jared Kushner, “shiksa” is making a comeback.
The New York Post reports:
IVANKA Trump and Jared Kushner have selected an outspoken rabbi who...
It’s difficult to believe Bill O’Reilly would have the audacity to call his memoir A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity, but then again, this is the reactionary talking head who dared to talk family values while hassling a female producer with late night calls seeking phone sex. Yesterday, the Loofah Loving Marist/BU/Harvard alum made a thrilling appe...
Nobody likes the city of Boston. If you think otherwise, please stop perpetuating this myth immediately.
Still, in its on-going bid to become the most hated city in America, Boston continues to add to the ever-expanding list of reasons to never visit Massachusetts.
The most recent addition? Limiting the annual Yale-Harvard tailgate to a meas...
