...there have been mistakes, things may have gotten out of control, and it may be easy this week to forget that Harvard's prime business is education, not entertainment. And when all the chocolate 350th shields have been eaten, and the officially sanctioned pens have been drained of their ink, Harvard will be left in relative peace once again--a bit prettier, a bit richer and a year older, but probably none the wiser. Despite recalling its birth as the beginning of higher education in America, the University sadly missed this opportunity to reexamine either itself or education in general...
Ellen H. Takata '98 creates equally beguiling ink drawings of young Japanese girls in and out of drag. "Actress (lkki Haruka)" features fluid renderings of two head shots taken from popular Japanese trading cards of an adolescent female theater troupe. At the top of the image, a short-haired boyish actress smiles seductively at the viewer. Below we see the same woman dressed in a tuxedo jacket and bow tie, her hair coifed in a pompadour which would have made the young Sinatra proud.

The original figure, a record-setting $55 billion, was revised up to $57 billion. Now, reports peg the amount at over $60 billion, including new commitments Friday from Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden...
...Monday that a deal had been reached for an IMF bailout of between $50 and $60 billion, about three times the country's original target. But later in the day, IMF managing director Michel Camdessus threw cold water on that one, noting that nothing is final until both sides ink an agreement. The Wall Street Journal reports that the parties are still at odds over Seoul's gross domestic product growth rate for next year...
