...post-war era, virtually every Hollywood director, from George Stevens and Fred Zinnemann on the A list, to Preston Sturges on the way down and Ed Wood who was never up, directed a Western. It was the new film noir - you could call it the anti-noir, trading claustrophobic darkness for blinding light in the wide-open spaces. But it was also a continuation of noir's fascination with the haunted man, the ordinary guy who'd been scarred by violent experiences.

Lorand Matory ’82, "Israel and Censorship at Harvard" (Sept. 14), something I had never discovered in my life’s experience: that my membership in the "gravely traumatized" Jewish people affects my ability to participate in "critical" discourse.

When the Class of 2011 arrived on campus, their revamped advising system contained hardly a mention of Gen Ed, but many a mention of the Core. “We were taught to act as if there is no such thing as Gen Ed,” says Mohamad M. Ali ’11. Peer Advising Fellows were instructed to advise freshmen to pick classes assuming the current...
