On corn dogs and other things

This is my last column of the year, and I feel pressure to talk about something important. John Milton's final work was a long, fractious religious tract outlining his heretical views on Christianity; Geoffrey Chaucer died while trying to create The Canterbury Tales, one of the greatest works in the English language.

Finding meaning in tragedy

As the epigraph for "The Brothers Karamazov," Fyodor Dostoevsky presented John 12:24:"Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."At first glance, the verse is difficult to decipher due to the vexing translation.

The cost of Princeton childcare

The University recently announced its new "Student Child Care Assistance Program" (SCCAP) along with a similar program for University employees (ECCAP). According to Graduate School dean William Russell, "the grants under the SCCAP are based on total household income not exceeding $130,000, are portable and can be used to pay for a wide range of possible arrangements, from in-home care to licensed day care centers." Providing financial aid for childcare is not new at Princeton.
