...disciplines in the new curriculum, fearing that their subjects do not fall neatly into any of the categories.Given the proposed curriculum’s divisions, “The social sciences generally, as well as the study of the past, are the two areas that don’t fit so automatically anywhere,” said Andrew D. Gordon ’74, the chair of the history department.‘HISTORICAL ILLITERACY’With the new curriculum subdivided according to a different philosophy emphasizing the real-world applications of academics, disciplines that were once isolated...

That pulling out chest hair, pummeling each other with deadly weapons, or drinking motor oil qualifies as “manly” is as ridiculous as saying Red Sox designated hitter David Oritz is slender. (In case you fit another gay stereotype, the Red Sox is a baseball team, baseball is a sport, and sport is outdoor athletic activity performed by teams.) I don’t recall a chapter in “Manliness,” last year’s sensation from Kenan Professor of Government Harvey...
