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...
Last week, Princeton’s eating clubs rallied in support of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week (HHAW), offering students free grub in exchange for a $2 donation to the Crisis Ministry and Homefront.
However, not all of Princeton’s exclusive clubs participated in the Thanksgiving fundraiser.
No, three of them—Ivy Club, Cottage Club and Tige...
Several days ago, we reported that Princetonians were too busy with their heads stuck in textbooks (or up their asses, if you prefer) to join their Ivy League brethren in protesting Proposition 8, a California referendum that barred gay couples from getting married in the state.
Well, they finally sprung into action, and true to form, they wen...

Earlier this year when Vanity Fair released its International Best-Dressed List, the magazine chose Michelle Obama as the most stylish individual in the world. Between rallies, fundraisers, and the DNC, Mrs. Obama has had more events to dress for than a socialite has in five years. Here we have Michelle Obama’s Best Dresses of the Campaign Trail...
Who watches Gossip Girl – and actually enjoys it?
Please raise your hands post-haste, so that I know whom to shoot first during the forthcoming Zombie Apocalypse.
Last night, this dreadful excuse for “television entertainment” singlehandedly lobotomized the American public, placing each of us into a catatonic state of shock.
Seriously, we ...
Ah, the wonderbra – women love it for the attention it generates, but men hate it for the sense of disappointment it brings when it comes off.
Sadly, guys, the wonderbra was only the beginning. Equal Writes, Princeton’s student-run feminist blog, has unearthed a new Weapon of Mass Deception being engineered down under in Australia: the Double ...
Score one for muckraking journalism – or not.
According to the illustrious IvyGate, the Daily Princetonian, Princeton’s student-run, propaganda-riddled news rag, is being audited by the New Jersey Department of Labor.
There’s an important caveat to their allegations, however: the largely self-congratulatory post written by Robyn Schneider re...
For the uninitiated, freeganism is an anti-consumerist movement in which members refrain from participating in the conventional economy, live on minimal consumption of resources and employ alternative strategies, including dumper-diving, to sustain their day-to-day living.
In 2006, a Wesleyan student produced a documentary entitled “Operation ...
If you’re wondering what criteria Fox News seeks in an employee, just consider Judith Miller, the former New York Times reporter who claimed that Saddam Hussein had acquired metal tubes to enrich nuclear material, wrote of his “dogged insistence on pursuing his nuclear ambitions,” and even made statements that weapons of mass destruction had bee...
I don't know about you guys, but every once in a while, I get tired of my campus. Sure, it's a beautiful, and sure, it's got some awesome statues, but sometimes you want to see somewhere new, you know?
These guys know all too well, apparently.
Steven and Caroline Lake have now visited 500 college campuses, MSNBC reports. Yes, 500. To do it, ...

In case you missed it, the BWOG has a brief, yet informative recap of the show, com...
At least someone in the field of economics is doing well these days. Paul Krugman, a professor at Princeton and an Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times, won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science.
The money maverick (that’s a nod to you, John McCain) teaches a graduate-level course on international monetary policy and theory at Prince...
Before viewing the rankings, let’s put things into perspective. Many Europeans have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to their education system, and they get offended when someone from the United States claims to have a larger one on theirs.
Case and point: On October 1st, an OTR editor declared that Harvard, Columbia and the University o...
In this week’s edition of “Ask the Sexpert,” a sleep-deprived Princeton undergraduate wrote in to the Daily Princetonian to find out how to best handle a suitemate who has an exorbitant amount of loud sex – all day, every day.
For a studious, conservative and/or sex-deprived individual, living with a “screamer” presents quite the eardrum-busti...
So what do you do if you’ve very publicly entered rehab for sex addiction because you couldn’t keep it in your pants on the set of a television show you star in about a nympho, have dragged your gorgeous actress wife into scum-smeared limelight, and now you’re finally done with all that mysterious treatment? Well that one’s obvious, isn’t it? Go...
In 1865, Princeton upperclassmen declared that freshmen at the school were no longer allowed to carry canes on campus. This class-wide hazing ultimately led to a physical altercation on Nassau Street between a group of freshmen and sophomores when the latter attempted to “enforce” the rule.
Since that historic brawl, representatives of the fre...
