...employ bodies of this type in order to facilitate inter-school communication and cohesiveness. Stanford, Columbia, New York University, the University of Maryland, and the University of Kansas all have representative bodies that cross traditional divisional lines. Harvard too has a provision for a University Council in its faculty handbook, a provision which has collected dust for too long and needs to be activated. For a University that boasts such a distinguished and progressive faculty in all of its schools, Harvard is not living up to its own standard when it refuses to democratize and consolidate the voice...

McCaughrean calls it "the best job I ever had," and the discipline has stood her in good stead since 1982 when...
Like a PBS Frontline special, but with a bit more attitude, Why We Fight makes a cogent case against the Iraq adventure. The film is, of course, a handbook for the converted. Those in agreement will see it, those opposed will ignore it. That is the fate of political documentaries in an age when the left mostly talks to itself...
