Harvard University Says: WE SUCK
The Economist has published a simply great double edition for Christmas, and the magazine provides very readable stories on China's occupation of Tibet and other serious issues.
However, the most enjoyable article is definitely one focusing on the best pranks in history, and the picture of hundreds of Harvard students unknowingly becoming a bunch of fools is costly. While Harvard and most of America's other Ivy League schools are known for their rich and privileged students, Harvard is still considered to be perhaps the world's top academic institution. It is probably human nature, but few things are more enjoyable than seeing people, that would usually demand your respect, be ridiculed in a magazine published as widely as the Economist. Kudos to the Economist for brightening up my week.
