...history on the present, and the need to create fantasies and art. David B. seems to have total recall of what it was like growing up with a stigmatized brother, providing a fascinatingly detailed account of parents who try everything, including a stint at a macrobiotic commune, to cure their son. But the illness only serves as the thread around which the author weaves his other themes, illustrated in extraordinary black and white drawings that give form to ghosts and demons as much as real people. Deeply moving, stunning to look at, and a perfect marriage of form and content...
...Harvard’s advising system. Rinere, a former Princeton administrator, offers an impressive combination of talent and experience that will be needed to repair student advising at Harvard, and we are confident that she will implement a comprehensive solution that is both practical and effective.

But when Skoll opened Participant Productions in January 2004 and announced his intention to cure what ails the world through film, even his greatest admirers predicted the billionaire would soon be downsizing to a mere millionaire. In Hollywood there generally isn't much money to be made in doing good. Skoll was undeterred. "I believe that people are basically good and want to do good...
...little fun in your life: try dancing.” I have a sneaking suspicion she wouldn’t approve of her descendents giving up the classics to “drop it like it’s hot” instead. To cure us of our crudeness, she’d most likely prescribe…lessons. And a few students on campus are heeding her advice. Several members of the mens’ lacrosse team have been secretly learning salsa on Thursday nights, and I recently overheard a group of football linebackers scheduling their next swing class...
