...Geographically, the Arabian Peninsula is already a subcontinent, as physically isolated as Europe is from Asia. A continental Middle East would mean added political strength—both in terms of international opinion as well as an increased sense of internal solidarity. Moreover, and more importantly in my mind, it would implant the distinctiveness of the region in the minds of children from the age of their first geography lesson. It is embarrassing and unjust that Middle Eastern nations must continue to identify themselves with respect to Europe and in accordance with its geography, given the brutal legacies of colonization...

The Student Astronomers at Harvard Radcliffe brought a hydrogen alpha telescope so that students could look at the sun while learning about environmental issues.

...oddly time-sucking in a way other entertainments aren’t; no one’s ever looked up suddenly to find they’ve wasted eight hours in a George Eliot novel or an Ingmar Bergman marathon. But with all of these considerations in mind, television is still an art form, a medium. No one stops going to see movies just because some films aren’t as good as “The Godfather,” yet plenty of the smartest, most art-loving people I know never watch a minute of television...
