Letters to the Editor

A price too high To the Editor: I have been attending Penn Hillel High Holiday Services for 30 years. They have been my Jewish place of worship, my linkage to organized Jewish life, through school at Penn, family religious events and many a soulful search.

Letters to the Editor

Real violations To the Editor: On behalf of Penn Faculty and Staff Against War on Iraq, I must challenge the accuracy and fairness of your coverage of our Teach-In ("An antiwar evening in Huntsman," DP, 9/21/06).

Gabe Oppenheim | A year later, a much better reaction

For certain AlliedBarton security guards, the stench of garbage and the sight of rats marked the start of every work day for the past several months.

Sebastien Angel | Don't complain about a free lunch

'There ain't no such thing as a free lunch," opines Manuel, a character in Robert Heinlein's science fiction classic The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Since the release of that book in the 1960s, the maxim has become inextricably interwoven with economics. Each year, legions of Penn students have that cliche drilled into their heads when they take Econ 1.

Editorial | Uncertainty, again

A City Council bill threatens to delay smoking ban's enforcement for months. Why does Council want to cut the legs out from its own law?

Editorial | A landmark on 33rd St.

As students returned to campus this fall, many got their first glance inside Skirkanich Hall - and just about everyone was impressed.
