In an event sponsored by Harvard Law School Alliance for Israel, Harvard University Graduate Student Friends of Israel, Stand With Us, Hasbarah Fellowships and Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston, among others, former PLO Terrorist Walid Shoebat spoke about what made him a terrorist and his ultimate realization of the fallacy of his actions on November 8th.

I happened across Raffi Melkonian's commentary regarding alumnus Jennifer Massey's role on the Apprentice. Mr. Melkonian incorrectly makes many false statements about Ms. Massey's legal career. As someone who worked alongside Ms. Massey for her first couple of years as a lawyer and was constantly impressed by her profsesionalism and her talents, I would like to set the record straight.

Harvard Law School students tend to be an ambitious bunch. So it is no surprise to see that so many members of Congress graduated from this law school. Though we all groan whenever the umpteenth classmate at HLS speaks of wanting to run for political office, there is something extraordinary about being at a place where students who speak of such things will likely go on and do them.

For the RECORD, Full disclosure: I was highlighted in the Nov. 4 RECORD column "Fenno." Fenno isn't my style of comedy or commentary, but my opinion of Fenno's merits is irrelevant. Fenno is uniquely anonymous: "The RECORD will not print unsigned letters.

2L Taylor Dasher Plays Harold Dobbs, a Mathematical Geek Drawn to Catharine But Also Out to Further His Own Career. Q: What is it you like about acting? I really like the creative process.

Generally (and hopefully), the writer has already given decent guidance as to what the character is like, but as an actor you get to flesh it out into three-dimensions.

I am beginning to become accustomed to having a gloomy day after. On the first Wednesday after the first Monday in November of 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2004 (and not incidentally 2003 when I woke up to find out that my Governor was Arnold Schwartzenegger), I have been greeted with bad news for the Democratic Party.

We live in a blue state. It was blue before Ohio succumbed to the red menace, but it is even bluer now. The sad, disheveled masses shuffle dazedly with their eyes puffy from crying themselves to sleep. Confronted with the red pill and the blue pill, fifty-one percent of the Neos in America took the red.

This year on election day, I somehow got roped into organizing a trip for about a dozen bright eyed and bushy tailed HLS Democrats to Philadelphia, PA. The Dems had contingents headed to just about every swing state, but somehow the Philadelphia trip seemed particularly exciting.

It feels like the big storyline since the election has been red states versus blue states, and how we somehow find ourselves in a huge divide. How the people in the blue states are blue with sadness, and the people in the red states are red with the blood of Iraqis on their chests.
