Sarah Palin, Seriously

In a similar way, the most troubling thing about Sarah Palin is not that she lies.

Portrait of the Decadent Youth

I want to tell you about this year; I want to tell you about what’s happened. I want to tell you about what went down in “Gossip Girl” and about what’s real and what’s fake, about how time passes in Princeton, about what mattered.

The 20 Most Popular People at Princeton

This was not hard. No computer programs were required, although they might have helped. All the team had to do was log in to facebook.princeton.edu, run an Advanced Search for the class of 2009, and copy one piece of information from each of the 1,198 profiles: Profile Views.
