...outside the U.S., and I have to say that in many ways, like Bernard Kouchner, I think that the magic is gone. You want modern transportation systems? Try France or Japan. New airports? Half the cities of Asia. The old assumption that American culture would sweep the planet no longer holds good. In Africa and Asia, they don't cluster round TVs to watch baseball's World Series, but they do hang on every minute of every football game in the European Champions League...

Misa Kuranaga stole most of the first act as “Blossom,” one of four assistants to the Fairy Godmother, who presides over the aforementioned—magical—backyard garden. In a variation that could not have lasted longer than two minutes, her absolutely perfect execution was as crystal-clear as the glass slipper that’s missing from Kudelka’s production...

...place.So what is to be done about these failing antihero dramas? First of all, if a series wants to maintain quality over several seasons, writers need to show some patience. Having a vigilante murderer come within spitting distance of the death penalty is a plot device that requires a longer buildup than just two seasons. Second, when the plot is failing, return to the writing.

Harvard undergraduates will be heading to “college” this spring. With changes planned for next semester, student e-mail addresses will no longer terminate in the puzzling @fas.harvard.edu ending, and will instead conclude with the more logical @college.harvard.edu. This amendment will be coupled with needed improvements to Harvard’s complete Webmail system, including a faster and sleeker interface and increased storage capacities of 10 gigabytes. FAS IT is implementing this new system in response to student demand for better e-mail options than those currently offered by the College. All of their proposed solutions...

...final clubs: collegiate fashion can’t be separated from our institution because it was, in fact, invented right within Harvard’s own hallowed halls. To bring some historical context into this, college campuses in the 1920s saw the development of a distinct youth culture. No longer under the watchful eyes of parents, adolescents were able to structure their social lives among their peers by joining fraternities. For many students, away from the comfort of home for the first time, this peer society offered the reassurance of one’s identity—reassurance through conformity...
