Unfortunately, these worries are nothing new—many at Harvard have been uncomfortable with Summers’ tactics, which too often hint at contempt for students and faculty. It is a sad reality that we have to continue to ask Summers to loosen his grip on information and thoughtfully listen to what all the stakeholders at the University have...
...opposite of defiantly shabby. The world of her books, including Off the Shelf and Modern Classics, and of an eponymous magazine--which has achieved cult status among U.S. foodies despite being so out of season with the northern hemisphere--is more minimal than Martha's. But any hint of unpalatable perfection is punctured by the Aussie herself, whose longtime companion, Bill Wilson, is the local butcher...
What do leftist linguist NOAM CHOMSKY and Left Coast lovely DREW BARRYMORE have in common? (Hint: it's not tattoos.) Both cultural notables took home a prize from the United Nations last week.

Cultural historian Jacques Barzun wrote recently that a 300-year-old "code of civilized manners" came to an end "about halfway into the 20th century." I'd argue that Barzun's dating is off by a couple of decades-otherwise my yellowed copy of a 1967 Playboy would be a lot smuttier than it is-but it's hard...
