...honor of its twenty-fifth anniversary, the Boston Lyric Opera (BLO) decided to give the people of Boston a present: the production of Carmen on the Common. Over the past year, the BLO has spent over a million dollars on Carmen, and its employees have poured an equal amount of energy into the project. Some could imagine, however, that even the most resourceful of BLO employees were overwhelmed upon discovering that the Boston Common sprinklers had soaked all of the costumes the day of the dress rehearsal...

...Crimson is right that Harvard’s new corroboration rule is a huge step backward (Editorial, “Equal Under Law,” Sept. 20). This absurd policy mimics se xist corroboration laws that were in place until the 1970s when the women’s movement successfully fought for reform. The Crimson is also correct when it characterizes Harvard’s new policy as evidence the College is turning a blind eye to the serious problem of sexual violence on campus—a problem that disproportionately affects women students...
