Only at Harvard would a mainstream political organization seek to distance itself from those who extol patriotism and a thirst for justice—let alone at a time when those values unite this nation in a way never seen in our lifetime (News, “Students Back Response” and “Student Rally for Patriotism Draws Few,” Sept...
...these holes in the plot are things to think about the day after the performance. During our three hours in Sarastro’s magic kingdom, they do not occur to us. The charm of the characters, the glory of the music and the loftiness of the ideal they extol simply overwhelm even the most cynical listeners.

If pro-choice advocates really want to make a difference in the national attitude about abortion, they will need to do much more than extol the virtues of a "wonder" drug. They will have to continue to present their arguments as to why having or performing an abortion is a morally acceptable decision to make...
