...making, which is highly regarded for its independence and integrity.” But despite varying opinions on the character of the call—one ABC News commentator said that he wasn’t “sure how many laws that breaks, but I’m sure there are some”—the message that art and artists can be a powerful tool in influencing public political opinion came through loud and clear. Harvard made much the same statement last December, when President Drew Faust announced the release of the long-awaited Report...
...Graduate School of Education. Lilli R. Margolin ’11, who was adopted from Korea and raised by a Jewish family, said that when she met her birth family, “I don’t think they really comprehended the fact that I’m Jewish.
