Speaking Up Is What Will Disillusion Abusers Who Hide Behind Privilege. In the picture posted by the Yale Daily News, DKE brothers stand next to a flag crudely woven from women’s underwear. The year is 1985, and Brett Kavanaugh, though not in the picture, has joined DKE, just like George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush did in their time. He has graduated prep school, is attending Yale, and would go on to Yale Law School. As an alumnae of Phillips Academy Andover and Yale College, I find such an insinuation not only laughable but a deliberate distraction from the fact that the opposite is often true. When I first got to Andover at age 16, I had little idea of how to interact with a particular category of boys: the prepsters in khaki pants, the athletes wearing varsity jackets, and, in general, anyone who seemed to speak the social language of East Coast elitism.
While I mostly steered clear of these men romantically at Andover, I saw them grind on girls at our awkward, chaperoned school dances. Who You Lose on the Path to “Success” | RippleJournal. Le grand siècle d'une mission protestante. La mission de Paris de 1822 à 1914 - ZORN Jean-François. A Recipe for Success | WEEKEND. Anyone who ever gave money to Barack Obama paid a price far steeper than his or her donation. You know what I’m talking about. Those emails. The ones that arrived every day — every hour, sometimes — nonstop, for months.
Did I want to get dinner with the president and Sarah Jessica Parker? Did I want to give yet more money? Did I know an FEC filing deadline was coming up, so I really should give money? Scott, you haven’t given money in awhile, is everything ok? Apparently, this strategy — annoying as it was — worked. Actually, speaking of Michael Lewis, his book, “The Big Short,” is a good counterweight for “The Victory Lab.” But it isn’t. That’s right. But it’s not just them. The most effective strategy to get you to vote? The Victory Lab is actually a broad survey of many of the great innovations in political campaigns from the last century. We haven’t figured out politics entirely, of course. Perhaps most surprisingly, “The Victory Lab” is a good read. Leaving the Valley | YDN Magazine. Of the few dozen transfer students currently attending Yale College, nine hail from a two-year, 26-person, all-male college located on a ranch in the middle of the Californian desert: Deep Springs.
When people at Yale ask about the college, Deep Springers usually have a couple of short sentences prepared. “It’s a cult on the desert, and we read a lot of books and ride a lot of horses. That’s my description,” says Ben Shaver ’15. “If someone needs a good explanation, I’ll talk more in detail. But most of the time it’s easier to just give a caricature.” The basic facts do conjure up something of a caricature — brooding cowboy scholars riding horses and reading Nietzsche together in a radical utopian commune. Yale welcomed one transfer student from Deep Springs in 2011, four in 2012, and another four last fall. Two years ago, Cory Myers ’15 would spend his mornings waking up early to move irrigation lines. As the sun sets, Shaver usually returns to the house to find everyone back home.
