Enough anger? (Editorial, Nov. 4) How about enough complacency? Or enough spineless acquiescence?
There is at least one piece of encouraging news from Tuesday's election, regardless of your affiliation: Voter turnout was at its highest since 1968, when Richard Nixon defeated Hubert Humphrey.
Regarding 'NCAA president discusses fiscal responsibility' (Nov. 2):The story concerning Myles Brand's speech that was given on Monday evening hit upon many good points but missed what I believe is the most important point of his visit here at Princeton.Dr. Brand consciously selected Princeton to give his inaugural speech "Achieving Fiscal Responsibility" at NCAA member institutions precisely because he believes the funding model in existence at Princeton and in the Ivy League is the model that ought to be emulated by all Division I institutions.
Upon witnessing a freshman girl hang her head in disappointment as she watched the metal gate of Frist's food area close, I tried to offer consolation and said, "Just go to the Wa." She stared back at me in confusion.
Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in October. How many of you knew that? If you are like most Americans, then you are probably unaware of this fact.
This election represented more then just a once-every-four-years chance to elect the president. It signaled a seismic shift in the political nature of young adults.
We do not know who will be the next president of the United States. As I write this, in the early hours of Wednesday morning, some of the networks have called the state of Ohio for President Bush.
Cultural manifest destiny is a dangerous and costly ideology. Neo-conservatives in the Bush administration feel America has a divine duty to change other nations into carbon copies of ours.
Brace yourselves. This ride is about to come to a halting stop. In less than 24 hours, arguably one of the most important elections of a generation will end, and a winner will be crowned as the next ruler of the oval office.
Today is Election Day, and if four years ago is any indication, half of all Americans won't vote.

George W. Bush is, indisputably, the best president in the history of the United States. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that he's the best leader EVER, trumping everyone from Winston Churchill (a drunk) to King David (a pretty-boy shepherd according to the prophet Samuel and a girlie man according to Gov.

I had made an interior vow to write nothing further about the presidential campaign. In my view it has been conducted by both major parties in a manner that emphasizes the trivialities and debilities of American democracy at the expense of demonstrating its strengths.
October 20, 2004: A day that will live in infamy. And all the more so as barely a weekend earlier my father and I had cackled over the Boston Globe's delightful description of Yankee-struck baseballs flying "hither and yon," of the "brontosaurus egg" that was the 0-3 deficit, and yes, of the "C-word." No doubt about it: The Curse was alive and well.Such it was that four days before the end of the American League Championship Series, I was at the height of my glory, reveling in the mystical Yankee-centric vision of the sports cosmos that had first drawn me into baseball fanaticism.For the uninitiated, Yankee theology explains why, despite their occasional slides into utter incompetence, the Yankees are the cicadas of the playoffs.
