...Arts First Performance Fair, to be held this year on May 6, is a fairly egalitarian undertaking. No event is lauded above the others, nor is it difficult to set up a performance. But despite this even-handed mentality, it is still highly likely that the performance by acclaimed country singer-songwriter Liz W. Carlisle ’06 will be one of the top attractions. Carlisle and her five-piece band will take Harvard Yard Stage at 3:30 p.m. on May 6—and again on May 7—to perform a 20-minute set consisting...
Classical music performances will dominate the proceedings this Arts First weekend. The onslaught begins tomorrow, when the Harvard Early Music Society and Currier House will both have afternoon recitals. In particular, the program for the Performance Fair on Saturday, May 6—a three-hour sprawl beginning at 1 p.m. and featuring over a hundred events in and around Harvard Yard—is heavy on classical performances.

Supporting fair trade coffee and hating taxes are not contradictory attitudes. When an individual buys fair trade, he voluntarily chooses to pay higher prices to support sustainable agriculture in small cooperatives in developing countries. When taxed, however, citizens are powerless to prevent corporate subsidies from being...
...fooled by the fair trade, cruelty-free exterior. Mackey has a darker, not so crunchy inside. He despises unions and prides himself on having kept them out of all 183 of his company’s stores. “Instead of embracing the notion of the ‘expanding pie’ vision of capitalism—more for everyone, or win-win,” Mackey argues, “they [unions] frequently embrace the zero-sum philosophy of win-lose.” Aware that union busting is illegal, Mackey persuaded the employees...
