...decided against changing the Core in any meaningful way. Dispirited, the ad hoc committee that was considering the issue, led by forward-thinking Professors David Armitage and Marjorie Garber, will no longer even meet. By framing the debate around Gen Ed in fundamentally semantic terms (look above at the main fruits of a ponderously lengthy curricular review!), the faculty has forfeited the right to be taken seriously as teachers. Considering the quantum of scholarship devoted to debating what is and is not canonical, it is shocking that these selfsame scholars refuse to arm all young undergraduates with knowledge this canon...

...abandon with nuanced maturity was completely absent from this performance. The attack of the opening octave cascade was overly cautious, and Sung’s uninvolved conducting generated orchestral accompaniment that further quenched any musical excitement. Friere’s rough phrasing of the second movement’s main theme disrupted the chordal harmonies in Grieg’s composition, interrupting the audience’s imagination of the majestic fjords and luscious landscape of the composer’s native Norway. In the third movement, Friere’s accents and staccatos lacked the caustic bite that keeps...

Much of the fear is based on what a U.S. withdrawal means practically. One example: U.S. military officials are in the process of closing Camp Bucca, the main U.S. military prison in Iraq. The closure, in line with the U.S.-Iraqi withdrawal agreement, has American officials handing some suspected insurgents to Iraqi authorities but letting hundreds of others go with no proper investigation or trial to determine their guilt or innocence. U.S. military officials have long acknowledged that some detainees held at Camp Bucca are likely innocent. But allegations of insurgent ties against many others will go largely unanswered...
