Indeed, our particular educational system is a blessing in that it encourages exploration and creative thinking, a boon that hasn’t gone unnoticed by other countries. Over spring break, through the Harvard College in Asia Program, I had the opportunity to stay at Hong Kong University with a group of fellow undergraduates. The dean of education there informed us that the college is planning to reform its curriculum—a relic of British colonial rule—to bring it more in line...

The former is surprisingly close in sound to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ career highlight “Maps,” offering a restrained but engaging tale of a relationship surviving on the brink. “Little Shadow” closes the album in a completely different fashion to the opening tracks. A triumph of atmosphere and lyrics rather than danceable beats...
