...there’s always room in economics. Artsy-types-looking-for-interesting-ways-to-fulfill-a-Core: Stay away, for your own good.Chemistry concentrators run the gamut from future Ph.Ds to future investment bankers to future tree huggers.Once you’ve hurdled the initial requirements—intro chem, intro bio, intro math, intro physics, intro blah blah boring Science Center lecture course blah blah, and, finally, organic chemistry—you can meet the concentration requirements with as few as four more courses, leaving you plenty of electives.The first two years are usually spent getting...

Sights and sounds bombard the audience: skyrockets on two large projection screens, silhouettes of the group and a frenetic milling of the cast, including bungee-cord duos (the boy above, the girl bouncing below). It's a rambunctious cue for nostalgia, for emotional flashback. Love calls on the audience, and the Beatles as well, to take a return trip "to where you once belonged...
