...Peloponnesian War, uproar and hilarity ensue.Two thousand, four hundred years after its original performance in Athens, Aristophanes’ “Lysistrata” is being brought to campus by Harvard’s Classical Club, who both selected and translated the play. Directed by James M. Leaf ’10 and produced by Veronica R. Koven-Matasy ’10, this classical Greek play–which will run from April 16 to 18 at the Loeb Experimental Theatre—is adapted for the modern audience, keeping the sexual lewdness and comedy of the original...

Then, the next morning, you look out a window and see another Japan: a hedge in which each leaf seems to have been clipped by hand; a couple of rocks placed, in some Zen way, just...

Prawns and langoustine must be fished out of glass jars. Almond-and-lime skyr, a strained Icelandic cheese, is served on a banana leaf, wrapped like a present with bows and cellophane paper. The elaborate packaging is charming, but ultimately unnecessary: flavor and freshness make a meal at the Seafood Cellar a gift in itself. For details, see www.sjavarkjallarinn.is...
After each workout, I wirelessly upload the results to the New Leaf site and get a grade based on how well I stayed within the zones. (As usual, I'm a C student.) I'm amazed how efficient it is to burn calories when everything is based on your individual metabolism. One day I burned 1,000 "TruCalories" in 70 min. That's nearly two mai tais. My low-tech bike had estimated I burned only 550 calories...
