Cord Jefferson · 09/04/12 01:42PMThe privileged young people of Harvard College are not often recognized for their integrity and backbone.

Neetzan Zimmerman · 05/24/12 04:17PMTed Kaczynski, better known to mail recipients everywhere as the Unabomber, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing three people and injuring nearly two dozen others, so it came as little surprise to his former Harvard classmates that he was unable to attend their 50th class reunion.
