...like the few surviving nooks and crannies in Cambridge, the wall has a tagged past. Around this time a year ago, graffiti in psychedelic swirls and dark hues plastered the walls. Add to the picture some trashcans and a few stray cats that perpetually inhabit them and you have a wholly depressing image. But Sarah L. Gogel ’06, founder of Art Squatters, saw something entirely different. She envisioned a public art space behind the graffiti. While painting over the lonely names painted in colors of bruise, Gogel hoped a community between Harvard students and local residents would...
...treat music like food. Here the commodities really are commodities; they’re not commodities selling themselves as art. Paradoxically, they’re not inert; far from it—dancefloor music is alive, forces you to listen with more than your ears. What corner you inhabit depends on how you feel. Why else would U.K. grime artists like Dizzee Rascal and Wiley Kat have come up with the inhuman beats they rhyme over? They grew up listening to breakbeat hardcore and jungle, whose twisted beats became their “rhythmic code” (to borrow from...
OEB’s scope is no less than the tens of millions of species that inhabit this planet, and its questions concern no less than their origin, evolution and preservation.

I’m joined in my TV-lessness by a large sector of the Harvard population, a group which knows not what it’s missing...
...people don't always live up or down to the clich?s they are expected to inhabit. Ted's mother Henrietta ("Nettie"), for example, was indeed a mountain ... of maternal devotion. She read books and poetry to the boy, and Ted later proclaimed her as the greatest influence on his writing. His dad, Theodore Robert Geisel, may have been a beermaker, but he had a precision of mind and expression, as evidenced in a letter he sent Ted after the young man, a senior at Dartmouth, had got in trouble with the police after a loud drinking party.
