...community. Its employment of thousands of individuals from communities throughout Massachusetts and the university’s projects in the loci of those areas ensure a high level of codependence. The recently stalled initiative to build the Allston science complex, coupled with layoffs of Harvard employees, provides us with explicit proof that Harvard’s decisions have a significant effect on people within the school’s sphere of influence, regardless of whether those people are willing residents of that sphere. Meanwhile, Harvard occupies a peculiar position as a nonprofit educational institution—it does not contribute...

The goal of second-wave feminism was not—as Wagley suggests—to allow for the proliferation of sexually explicit media and self-exploitation à la “Girls Gone Wild.” In fact, most feminists, including Ariel Levy, would concur that the pressure to conform to a sexual script is a problem that ought to be addressed not by restricting sex, but by removing stigmas surrounding sexual behavior, which includes abstinence, promiscuity, and everything in between.

...most explicit attempt to address QM in literature can be found in Michael Frayn’s play “Copenhagen,” which imagines and reimagines the enigmatic meeting between physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg in the Nazi-occupied Denmark of 1941. Heisenberg was working on the Nazi nuclear project (either on a bomb or a reactor—we still don’t know); Bohr was a Dane, and would later flee due to his Jewish ancestry. The meeting ended badly, and the two, once the best of friends, never spoke again...
