Before joining the debate team, I believed that winning an argument was a matter of volume, quick reflexes and sheer conviction. Arguing was not about getting closer to the truth. It was about winning—and...

Lady Knightingale • September 7, 2026
Dearest Gentle Reader,     This author unpacked her quill early so that she may say her piece on a most opinionated topic.     As you must know, this institution has a rather unusual way of initiating our dear freshman class.

You probably won’t earn much or do anything glamorous, but that first job will give you the experience you need to move forward. But what happens if AI starts doing the work that was supposed to give us our start?

    Everyone fears the Dodgers. The two-time defending World Series Champs have no weaknesses and unlimited depth of All-Star caliber players. From July 31 to August 2, they played the Boston Red Sox, who were without their two highest-paid players — star shortstop Trevor Story and ace starting pitcher Garrett Crochet — as well as upcoming star Roman Anthony, who has been injured virtually all season.
