...Grossman referred to hard-core video-game fans as "an invisible subculture." Here I am, 24 years old, loving life. I've got a great job and a huge circle of great friends, and I will be getting my M.B.A. in a couple of years. I know a bit about art and music, and I get daily updates on world events. And I love video games. How is a well-crafted game (of which there are a good bunch) different from a good novel? Angel Darquea, Santa monica, calif...
...problem is we've gone straight to the top. We are essentially, as some argue, farming tigers when we raise tuna or striped bass or cod," says Brian Halweil, a senior researcher with WorldWatch, a Washington-based environmental NGO. By contrast, the fish species at the core of the millennia-long tradition of fish-farming in Asia and parts of Africa - catfish, carp and milkfish - actually require less fish input than is ultimately harvested, because they are herbivorous or omnivorous. In Asia, the idea of feeding several times more fishmeal to get one pound back would seem sheer folly. "Ultimately...

So it is shameful to see that the administrators in charge of pushing General Education afforded themselves vacations in lieu of taking even baby steps in the march to implement the new curriculum. Reinvigorating Harvard’s Core will require a Herculean effort, and sloth is not an option. This delay in curricular development has already had consequences for the newest crop of freshmen. When the Class of 2011 arrived on campus, their revamped advising system contained hardly a mention of Gen Ed, but many a mention...
...easy to blame it all on Harvard, a place quite often accused of anglophilia and academic self-centeredness. Students cite strenuous tutorial requirements, an inflexible core curriculum and demanding concentration courses that must be taken in succession as prohibitive to studying abroad. But Harvard students continually stay home—perhaps because it is the safe option, but also because there is a certain desperate fear that academic life elsewhere is less challenging, less intense, and less interesting. This is not only untrue, but it is an insidious subplot at a university whose alumni continually go on to affect...
