Guitars and drums, loud and fast. In the great textbook of rock and roll, it's the first lesson and Dave Grohl learned it well. Just to get it out of the way early, yes, Grohl cut his teeth in some other big famous Seattle band before the Foo Fighters. Unfortunately, Grohl's celebrated lineage has always seemed to detract from his talents rather than advance them. With the first Foos' album, the world was waiting to see how many Kurt Cobain references they could find in his songs (regardless of the fact that much of the album was written...
...trio of plays currently running at The Works Theater in Somerville would make for an evening of romance and poetry. But it doesnt take long to remember that for modern authors, love is every bit as capable of clearing a path of destruction and despair as that other great theme of literature, death. Seductions is less about sexual temptation than it is about power and its abuses.

Getting students to fully release the amazing library resources steps from our houses and first-year dorms is a great goal. It is not achieved with carpet-bombed public relations packages that look like gifts, but end up in the trash or under stacks of paper that will later become trash. Because the Library failed to consider its audience, the package came off as awkward at best. To many, it was a sign (as if another were needed) that at Harvard, money comes first, followed later by a vague idea of the existence of undergraduates...
...have real hope, though, that the less attractive the material, the more Trudeau will be able to turn the farcical into the humorously serious. The collected works of Doonesbury, the only political strip ever to win a Pulitzer Prize, will one day make a great curriculum for a U.S. History class (Watergate, Iran/Contra, Desert Storm, etc.). Over the last almost 29 years, Doonesbury (through Trudeau), tackling such social issues as AIDS, homelessness and education, has put together a visual and verbal compendium of life's great questions and answers: how to treat people justly in a changing society...
