...talk - exactly what Harvey did for more than 75 years. He spoke with clarion clarity, his voice an elocution teacher's pride, easily parodied but intimate, powerful and oh-so-precise. It was "nee-ews," never the lazy "nooze," and "reck-ord," not "reckerd." For emphasis, he'd add a vowel to a word with abutting consonants ("web-a-site"). Many of his fans were of his generation, but a few young'uns had to be tuning in: his broadcasts reached some 12 million weekly listeners on 1,200 radio stations and 400 Armed Forces Network affiliates...

The practice of charging students when they add or drop classes seems both financially unnecessary and potential harmful to students’ academic decisions; Harvard should not penalize its students for changing their schedules after an arbitrarily chosen Monday. If regulations allow students to change their schedules until the fifth Monday of the term—which they often...
...almost unrecognizable by the end, but the build always makes sense and is never rushed or jarring.

John Moen (The Decemberists) on drums and Chris Slusarenko (Guided by Voices) on bass help build the swirling melodies that sometimes...
...Spirit of Apollo” sounded like the wet dream of music bloggers and Hype Machine addicts—take a sample of hip-hop and indie rock’s current royalty, sprinkle in some musical legends, add a solid production team, and put them all together on one album. Unfortunately, N.A.S.A., the DJ duo behind the album, fails to live up to the extraordinary potential of their project.Sam “Squeak E. Clean” Spiegel and Ze “DJ Zegon” Gonzales named their collaboration N.A.S.A.—which stands...
...economic self-interest (since go-out-of-your-way kindness to strangers is not, shall we say, a particular Parisian strength). Tourism boards have set up information and hospitality offices at airports and throughout metro Paris. To address the looming shortfall of hotel rooms, the municipality plans to add 7,500 rooms to the existing stable of 75,000 over the next few years. To help tourists choose, officials have introduced a fifth star for hotels, a rating many nations already have. And as part of the transport revamp, a direct rail link from central Paris to Charles de Gaulle...
