Allocating funds to new Women's Studies department with 30 fresh professorship rather than an institute would do the same, allowing students of both genders to benefit by offering an incentive to study for credit, to read post-modern feminist theory, to discuss Army Tan novels, Juliet Schor sociological tracts and Simone de Beauvoir. In this way, Radcliffe would stay true to its mission to "advance society by advancing women" of all ages, while prioritizing undergraduate education...

Endless comparisons have been made between Falkner and the classic rock and pop bands of the past 30 years. But when pressed to put your finger on any direct musical similarities, it's impossible to find any of the blatant regurgitation with which modern bands have made a killing.

Running the opposite direction, Falkner taps into a timeless beauty and exudes thirst for life present in the pop bands that have managed a lasting impact of modern music...
