...feel that the graffiti at Dunster House and the email at the Kennedy School were wrong because of the message they convey. Unfortunately, I can't make this argument to the authors because they are cowardly thugs who hide behind a veil of anonymity. I hope that the Harvard University Police Department is successful in immediately bringing the perpetrators to justice for their vandalism and for using the e-mail system to harass and intimidate others...
...chat online until your fingers are raw, but you still can't convey the emotional subtlety of tete-a-tete conversation.

Jews working as Stalin's self...
...technical performance was wildly erratic, the phrasing disjointed, the rhythms unreliable. Most disconcerting was the absence of any notion of what the pieces were designed to convey; Helfgott played a lot of notes but not much music. The audience didn't mind. Each piece was greeted with a roaring standing ovation, the kind once accorded only to a Rubinstein or a Horowitz...
