...Alumni donors never gave University administrators carte blanche to shell out cash whenever and wherever they see fit. Harvard’s comparative advantage is in education. Here in Cambridge, Kennedy School professors are training government officials in emergency-management techniques, and Design School students have drawn blueprints for tsunami-resistant houses. Clearly, it would not be in the global interest for Harvard to close up shop and dispatch its faculty to disaster sites. But if Harvard does choose to participate in more direct charitable giving, then administrators should look beyond the stories that dominate the nightly news...
...life was practically a caricature—a persona of who he wanted to be—is far from easy. Anyone who takes on the high-pitched tones of Capote should be, presumably, relegated to parody or mere imitation.

...blanket-shaking scene. A few months later, “Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)”: basically a bunch of impish little kids cutting power lines around town, pissing off the adult-types. The animation is second-rate, mostly “Triplets of Belleville” cribbing drawn with the finesse of a “South Park” episode. Now here comes the fugliest monstrosity of them all, “Neighborhood #2 (Laika).” Boy is this thing unbearable to look at. Just look at that screen shot. The video is that murky...
