...long operated under a decentralized system, with each faculty and school retaining broad autonomy. The result has been an institution dominated by individual fiefdoms and parochial interests and that is averse to interdisciplinary endeavor. Faust must break down these entrenched barriers—a move that will likely anger many. Luckily, Faust has a solid model to build on with the nascent Harvard Stem Cell institute and the recent creation of the first inter-faculty department.Faust must also deal with a recalcitrant and old-fashioned Faculty of Arts and Sciences. To say that the Faculty is currently in a difficult...

The 1967 conflict, says Michael Oren of the Shalem Center in Jerusalem, the author of a book...
...film opens inside Bauby's head, going in and out of focus like his consciousness; we get the same blurry vision, varying sound levels and blinking camera. Bauby feels the natural anger and humiliation; on the voiceover narration he observes, "I'm 42 years old and I'm being washed like a big baby." In a hand mirror he catches sight of himself and his drooping mouth: "I look like I came out of formaldehyde." But Bauby is a fighter, who has the best (and most gorgeous) trainers to help him connect and communicate with the world he was once...
