...Harvard is an institution that aims to inspire civil, logic-driven, factual discussions. As its graduates, we must go into the world demanding these kinds of debates, even if we did not always find them here. We should draw on Harvard’s positive examples: I have seen, at times, constructive debate and genuine learning in classes, at the Harvard Political Union, Crimson editorial meetings, or just in casual discussions between friends.

Perhaps Alex and Vera cannot see beyond their own needs. Perhaps no one can. In another movie about lost treasures, Charles Foster Kane offers a toast "to love on my own terms. Those are the only...
...Nothing here makes sense," one inmate at the men's penitentiary told TIME, speaking - as all interviewed prisoners did - on condition of anonymity. "You can't apply logic. There's the law, and then there's what actually happens...
