...full Romanticism, are suffused with an emotional variety and exuberance that often gets suffocated under the reverence bestowed upon them as artistic milestones. An institution as well established as the BSO and a conductor as august as Levine could easily compound the problem, but they proved to be far too skillful to fall into such a trap. They chose to take on a role—not that of the priestly stewards of sacred sound, but almost that of a preternaturally talented youth orchestra playing the “Eroica” for the very first time.

Glancing at the whole of something doesn’t mean you understand all of its parts. Imagine this: you assume that Australia doesn’t have any decent winter athletes just because its total medal count—two—falls far behind winter powers such as the United States, Germany, and Norway, the current medal leaders. Then you’d be denying the existence of Australian Olympian Torah Bright, who took gold in the women’s half pipe, beating all the top U.S. riders in the process...

Junior Cara Sprague is not far behind these three and finished second on the team in the 15k free event in the St. Lawrence Carnival. Continued development of interchangeability will allow Harvard to compete against larger teams with great recruiting resources and a larger supply of reserves...

When American democracy was being formed, many of its founders, including Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, supported congressional term limits, "to prevent every danger which might arise to American freedom by continuing too long in office the members of the Continental Congress," as Jefferson wrote.
