...power from nuclear plants and the country has huge and growing energy needs. It aims to have 25% of its power come from nukes by 2050 and plans an extraordinary expansion of nuclear power. If those new plants weren?t under international scrutiny, the deal would fall apart...
...Adams House Upper Common Room in late October. Van Devere then recruited the Harvard Wind Ensemble to record the film’s score. Crafted by Harvard students and affiliates and shot on campus, “Bachelors Cottage” represents a novel cinematic endeavor that stands apart from the work done by the Visual and Environmental Studies department and HRTV.

Sure, the overture to “Cosi fan tutte” seemed occasionally on the verge of falling apart, but it never did, and it was enthusiastic and palpably exuberant in ways that many virtuosic performances are not. Fujimoto needs to learn to conduct with her orchestra rather than at them, and the players need to pay more attention to each other. Yet these problems are not irreconcilable...
