...athletics here a little easier knowing that Harvard remains one of the last places where words like “amateurism” and “student-athlete” are still real words that represent real principles, rather than code names that cover up corruption and greed.—Staff writer Loren Amor can be reached at lamor@fas.harvard.edu...
...suppose Maddin could make his movies anywhere. But no one else could make them. A crazy-smart mix of avant- and retro-garde, they address big topics (corporate greed, national identity, pre-adolescent lust, family betrayal) in a style that suggests an antique silent film rescued from a dump heap - on Mars.

...cats in his own income bracket with real fervor. "We have the greatest economic inequality we've had in America since the great Depression," he said. "We're now made up of a few rich people who are doing extremely well and everybody else. Washington's response has been 'Greed is good. Take care of the lobbyists. Take care of the special interests.' There's another two Americas that exist in this country: there's one for the lobbyists, for the special interests, for the powerful, for the big multinational corporations and there's another one for everybody else.
