...Extension School serves a critical purpose: It offers everybody the opportunity for advanced study at Harvard, regardless of prior Harvard affiliation.

Since Columbia released the landmark five-record album last month, it has been selling as quickly as stores can get it in stock. Springsteen Live became the first album to debut at No. 1 on Billboard magazine's best-sellers chart since Stevie Wonder put out Songs in the Key of Life a full decade ago. Retailers signed up for an unprecedented initial shipment of 1.5 million Springsteen record, tape and compact disc sets...
