Never mind that professors willing to supervise independent studies abound, that research funding has never been so readily available, and that all but a handful of Harvard’s faculty members are as eager as ever to engage with students who actively seek them out. However, the CUE is espoused as the place of reckoning for hoardes of "delinquent" faculty, professors with early morning office hours are cited for negligence, and student-advocacy hawks...

Nip ’08; the Count and the Countess Almaviva, portrayed by James B. Onstad ’09 and Katrin D. “Kathy?...
...visited after tiring of Prague.) The taxi driver from the airport was surprised to learn that I was American, as were vendors in the fruit market, although everyone under 30, it seemed, spoke English. Road signs in the capital are in Cyrillic, and Old World and communist-era charms abound--men in chapeaux, women with bright red dye jobs--but there are also plenty of skinny young things running around in tight jeans and tall boots, heading to hot nightclubs like Chervilo and Briliantin that don't get going before midnight...
