A tipper left notice yesterday that another Massachusetts college campus found "threatening notes" in the school bathrooms. After notes appeared at Bridgewater State and Framingham State, a janitor found notes in UMass-Amherst bathrooms. In the note found at Framingham State, threats included references to leap year, which falls on Friday. No one has said if there's a link among all the notes in the school bathrooms, but officials aren't playing around after what happened......

Hillary Clinton at Wellesley Thursday, November 1, 2007, 10:00 am-1:00 pm Alumnae Hall, Wellesley Campus 106 Central Street, Wellesley More info--you will need to print out a confirmation e-mail to attend! Here's a word to describe Hillary Clinton--bold.

Update: A commenter let us know that MIT is paying $6,000 to help clean up the boat. Pretty much everyone and their mom knows that MIT has a yearly tradition of dropping sodium off the Longfellow Bridge into the Charles.

Jimmy Carter spoke at Brandeis last night about his controversial book Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid, and the event was a civilized discussion instead of a much-feared shouting match among Carter, Alan Dershowitz, and Brandeis students. Keeping it civilized was a challenge. Brandeis screened questions that students asked of Carter, and the organizers had to keep Carter and Dershowitz in separate pens: "Dershowitz was kept out of the gym during the speech, but allowed to give......
