...Allied-Burton, meanwhile, already had guards at the Business School, and kept winning other contract bids. Last spring, it became the University’s largest provider of security after its buyout of Security Systems Inc. It was then that the last seven in-house security guards in the union were “bought out,” in Skillman’s words. They were told to choose between jobs with Allied and lucrative severance packages, even though there were two more years left in their contract with the University...
This year I became acquainted with a few anomalies in the boozing capital that is Harvard. These are beautiful, social Harvard women go out every night, but don’t imbibe. I sat down with my blockmates and friends, Jennifer M. Markham ’07, Lindsay M. Burton ’07 and Victoria B. Ilyinsky ‘07 who described their experiences at Harvard sans beer, Bacardi, or anything of the like...
...play with the likes of Mongo Santamaria, Stan Getz and Miles Davis. Moving on to assemble many famed groups (including Circle, Return to Forever, the Elektric Band, the Akoustic Band and Origin) and having played with nearly every jazz great of the modern era (from Herbie Hancock to Gary Burton), Corea’s career reads like a jazz history book.

All of which makes for a long, lumpy trip with a charismatic guide and some brilliant detours...
...studio franchises, that has led to project like Bryan Singer’s X-Men and Christopher Nolan’s new version of Batman. The key is Anton Furst’s remarkable production design; there is nothing quite like the Gotham City he designed with Burton. Anchoring the magic is Jack Nicholson’s astonishing performance as The Joker. He has truly “danced with the devil in the pale moonlight,” a sight that must be seen to be believed. 7 p.m. at the Harvard Film Archive...
