One was, as always, left with admiration for the achievements of the entirely student-run chamber orchestra, currently led by Music Director Daniel W. Chetel ’06 and concertmaster Alex Y. Shiozaki...
...president’s Feb. 21 resignation was at odds with the University’s commitment to valuing ideas, asked Summers, “What the hell happened?” “You know, it’s a long and complicated story that I expect that I’m not in the position to objectively assess at this point,” Summers responded.

The Marines are still flying around Iraq in Vietnam-era helicopters--yet $1 billion...
Tierney’s version of this canard goes this way: “You might expect the Harvard history department to devote a course or two to the American Revolution or the Constitution, but those topics are too mundane. Instead, there’s a course on the diaries of ordinary citizens during the Revolution, and another...that considers the American and Haitian Revolutions as “a continuous sequence of radical challenges to established authority.” It is hard to know which alarms him more—the diaries or the notion that revolutions provoke...
