Legacy status improves an applicant's chances of getting into Harvard by almost three times...
...other painting by Aesopos, "Vehicular Space," shares with the multimedia work a successful sense of perspective and progression. In this provocative black-and-white representation of New York, the shading and bold strokes lend the work depth and movement...

Despite the generally good acting in the Leverett House production, descriptions of the war and the pain of remembering it might seem more convincing coming from Robert DeNiro rather than a Harvard undergraduate...
