Searching for the roots of political inequalities is a life’s mission Verba began in 1963 with The Civic Culture, a book he co-authored with the late Gabriel Almond, a professor emeritus at Stanford when he died two years ago. But it’s not his field of interest that has made Verba a pioneer. To research The Civic Culture, Verba, Almond and their team performed a cross-national survey, a method which would become fundamental to political science. For his second major work, Voice and Equality, Verba surveyed 15,000 Americans. The approach made waves...
...with Grolier, Harvard itself has a special duty. When a beloved pub closes, it is heart wrenching but divorced from the University’s core mission. Poems, far more than pubs, are central to Harvard’s hopes for the promotion of education and culture. The value of a poem cannot be measured in dollars and cents.

The surface of the formation is made up of fine layers--called parallel laminations--that are often laid down by minerals settling out of water. The rock is also randomly pitted with cavities called vugs that are created when salt crystals form in briny water and then fall out or dissolve away...
