...deliver supplies to disaster stricken areas. Most importantly, however, HarvardforHumanity positions Harvard as a leader in humanitarian ideals. As a premier research institute and university, Harvard has clearly set itself a goal to advance human knowledge. But in translating that goal to undergraduate education, perhaps we are aiming too low by just educating the next generation of humanitarian leaders. Harvard students come up with innovative and ingenious ideas to small problems on a regular basis—witness last term’s Computer Science 50 fair—and with a little prodding, they can set their attentions...

I recall my parents in the 1970s trying out a range of therapies and various diets for my younger brother Noah, a low-functioning adult autistic: everything from chiropractic adjustments to megavitamin doses to copper bracelets. McCarthy was the first celebrity to embrace this approach publicly and to hit the airwaves pep-talking mothers to never give up. That is what she tells those parents who seek her out here at Generation Rescue - and the 200,000 mothers she has met on her various...
