...Africa to Japan with counter-cyclical measures that attempt to hasten the move from recession to growth. The now-revived Keynesian approach justifies the deep temporary deficits with the promise of future growth. The same applies to Harvard, for the endowment will continue to grow–and receive fresh funds–as soon as growth resumes. Hence we should behave counter-cyclically, helping the economy and the community in the process...
...genre-bending appeal and for its own musical merit. “Fingers” also succeeds in these same respects. Sounding more like a Beatles ballad than anything else, the track integrates staccato piano chords, a marching beat, and some impressive orchestration to give it a simultaneously fresh and dated feel. While the lyrics are a bit more hit or miss (“And the fingers of your mind / Have wrapped around my spine / And made me feel so blind”), the retro yet contemporary feel is more than engaging enough. “The Jimmy Choos?...

...earnest attempts to adopt a Chinese baby despite his young bachelorhood, and Larry’s inexplicable penchant for mixing purple vodka with pure ethanol while on the job—give each character an idiosyncratic tint. The debut script from Adam Nagata and director Matt Aselton is fresh and quirky; the dialogue alone could drive the awkward humor of the piece even without the nuanced talent of Dano and Deschanel.Furthermore, the film manages to focus on these quirks without overdoing them as indie flicks often do. The silly surface of the film is upheld by beautiful cinematography and careful...
...antagonism—the emotional violence in “Lymelife” is strikingly affecting. No words are left unsaid, and no character is immune to the plague that is suburbia. Rather, the film takes the old story of trouble in suburbia and twists the melodrama into something fresh, molding family dynamics into moments of poignancy. Jimmy’s tipping point, for example, presents an unfiltered picture of psychological unravel that sits starkly in the trail of the film’s ruthless emotional episodes.For the most part, the cast is flawless in performance. It may be difficult...
