...commitment is unique, and that in her three years at the Food Bank, no other university has offered a similar long-term pledge of service. Harvard’s commitment, she said, will help ensure that there are enough hands to sort through food after the holiday season, when the number of volunteers typically drops off but the amount of product to be sorted is greatest...

...casually concealing the fact that he himself was just such an oddity). With this potent blend of self-deprecation and arrogance, Dylan has managed to keep us laughing at his jokes without quite grasping the crux of the punchline for decades, making his latest musical endeavor, an album of holiday standards entitled “Christmas in the Heart,” just as puzzling as it is entertaining. Nostalgic descriptions, like on “Silver Bells,” of how Christmas “shoppers rush home with their treasures” may seem a bit incongruous...

Some states like South Dakota and Alabama have already taken the initiative to rename Columbus Day within their own borders, but, on the national level, Columbus Day is still a federal holiday, which should no longer be the case. Replacing Columbus Day with a holiday celebrating Native American culture will do much to bring this country to the realization that its history consists of many episodes less wholesome than the common image—real...

...while a nominal change of the Columbus Day holiday is a start, this country can do much more to challenge the unfortunately widespread Eurocentric approach to American history. For the most part, today’s American children and high-school students are taught that American history begins in 1607, the year the Jamestown settlement was established. Such an approach to American history is as inappropriate as it is inaccurate. And although replacing Columbus Day would certainly be a step in the right direction, we hope that the change would inspire a stronger commitment to teaching the true trajectory...
