...taught sailing to underprivileged teens as a way to help them see beyond the crime and poverty they grow up in, if she did something for someone else besides herself - then maybe she would deserve the term hero. Cindy Wyneken Freiburg, Germany Aging Gracefully I found the excerpt of Dr. Andrew Weil's book Healthy Aging [Oct. 24] enjoyable reading even though I am not yet 35. It is right to be skeptical of the antiaging industry and the unrealistic expectations that its massive advertising campaigns raise in gullible consumers.

...sharpest motherfucker in the whole clan, he always on point.

...world are deteriorating,” Knafel said in an interview after his remarks. “The [military] approach we’re using has created more issues than it has resolved.”The dedication was preceded by a trumpet fanfare—an excerpt from Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique—performed by Darryl J. Campbell ’06, Michael P. Corayer ’06, and Scott M. McKinney ’09, members of the Harvard Band. The dedication celebrated the completion of CGIS after a long and arduous process...
