Every year, we honor one woman and one man, and I manage the events. In the fall, my time is mostly taken up by choosing the talents, contacting their publicists, and securing them for the events. In the winter, my time is consumed by organizing the actual days. That means setting up hotels, getting things fixed with publicists, agents, those who will be coming, and making sure all of it will be comfortable...
...would graduate,” he explained. The inspiration behind Harvard tattoos varies. Thomas E. Rodger ’08 claims his block H tattoo—in the style of the Harvard football helmet—is “more of a football tattoo than for the actual school.” Nik A. Sobic ’06-’07, a self-described tattoo-skeptic, chose to commemorate his own successful Ivory Tower career with an elaborate Harvard athletic shield tattooed on his (rather large) bicep.

Countering the damage done by business practices through support of environmental organizations is one way to address the problem. Reducing the actual damage is another.

Still, as the country's politics change to allow a more assertive foreign policy, Japan may not remain a stealth military power for long...
...professional is at the controls, Lt. JG Yoichiro Sagawa, who takes me through the procedure of landing a whale-sized seaplane on 10-ft.-high waves. Seaplanes manage to combine the worst aspects of airsickness and seasickness, and I fear that a simulated flight might make me lose my actual lunch. But Lt. Sagawa has a much surer hand that I do. "Once you get in that seat, you know right away who can do it and who can't," he says, with the confidence of years of training. It's not just superior technology that makes Japan's military...
