...Last Perfect Revolutionary, Gao takes an almost psychoanalytical approach to describing a relationship that, more than any other, shaped China's modern history. Zhou, though never personally friendly with Mao, regarded him as an imperial figure. Zhou's guiding philosophy might have been taken from the Confucian Analects: "If the emperor asks you to die, you should die." And, indeed, Mao apparently asked no less. Gao confirms an assertion made in Mao: The Unknown Story, the 2005 biography by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday, that Mao purposefully denied Zhou medical care for the cancer that ultimately killed him. Gao even...
...special role. The study of energy blends together topics from global geopolitics and economics to scientific advances and technological development, all of which must work in concert. Universities are uniquely positioned to focus on different fronts and possible solutions to our future energy needs, providing both a holistic approach to the problem and the research firepower to tackle it head on. Harvard in particular, with tremendous strengths in the sciences, the social sciences, and the world of policy, is positioned to play a particularly important part...
...Harvard does adopt the new helmet, the implementation will be a type of medical test. “I’m not interested in making money off the Harvard football team,” Ferrara said. “We’re taking a medical device approach.” Unlike traditional foam-lined helmets, Xenith’s helmet is lined with 18 “Aware-Flow” shock absorbers, which release air upon impact and compress more completely than foam, minimizing impact force. Laboratory tests also reveal that the disks are sturdy and show...

Often, the opposition to this tactic—a system-internal approach, let’s call it—is cast by conservatives and liberals as irrational and impractical; leftists are pilloried for prematurely rejecting all things that bear the mark of “the Man.” However, the radical critique of system-internal social change depends on a much more...
...Historically, movements for ethnic departments have been led by students like Coles in minority communities who want a place for themselves within a university that they feel is taking a limited approach to the humanities. “So-called mainstream departments, which seem theoretically not to be ethnically-based, were thought to exclude faculty and students who were not white,” explains Professor of African and African-American Studies Biodun Jeyifo. The African and Afro-American Association of Harvard-Radcliffe Students fought for an Afro-American Studies Department in the 60s expressly so that African-American students...
