...borrowed from Bill Maher. Coggins fairly paraphrased the TV host, but provided an obscured description of her classmates’ actions. Coggins contrasted a campaign that was, in every sense of the word, effective, with the recent “HIV Positive” stunt, praising those behind the latter for resisting the “inflated sense of self.” A hunger striker is many things, but self-indulgent isn’t one of them. Most Harvard students would be hard pressed to name three of the 11 strike participants. And the most visible strikers hardly...
...roughly microcosmic of the external political conflict. The first half of the movie underscores the students’ naïve confusion between histrionic ideals and a harsher reality, until a particularly bloody episode jars the troupe and shows that they have already committed themselves to the latter.

Many in the latter camp have close ties to Shanghai, China's commercial capital. While both groups share the goal of keeping the party (and themselves) in power, Li argues that they represent "two starkly different sociopolitical and geographical constituencies," with the litists speaking for the interests of China's most economically advanced coastal...
...Their father, Jaime Zobel de Ayala ’57, retired as the company president in 1994 and stayed on as chairman until 2006. All three lived in Lowell House as undergraduates. Jaime Zobel is the youngest recipient of the award and the first Filipino to receive it. The latter, Zobel said, mattered to him much more. “There are many interesting and accomplished Filipinos,” he wrote in an e-mail from the Philippines. “But global recognition tends to be scarce.” The Business School has given the Alumni Achievement...
