...course, Tcherepnin says composer John Cage is the "patron saint of Music 159r." The works of such artists as Brian Eno and Philip Glass are also among the most important developments in the genre in recent years, says Tcherepnin. But recent popular electronic creations have deviated from the experimental norm established by pioneering artists, say students in Music 159r. Tcherepnin and students agree that the germinating influences by figures like Cage have been redirected toward more commercial goals. "Artists don't control their own creativity anymore," says Tcherepnin. "The real trick now," Pierce says, "is to find someone doing what...
Over the next several months, Griego and fellow Reporters Lou Kilzer and Norm Udevitz published dozens of articles proving that about 99% of so-called "missing children" were not abducted by strangers. Rather they were runaways (most of whom returned home within 72 hours) or were taken by parents involved in custody battles.

...Harvard today, the opposition between sports and serious student concerns is more subtle, but nonetheless real. The houses with the highest percentage of athletes tend to vote most conservatively--against the campus norm--in political opinion polls. Varsity athletes are occasionally used as bodyguards by the University administration and more recently were recruited as bouncers for the Hasty Pudding Theatricals' ceremony honoring Sylvester Stallone, where they manhandled one poor slob who dared to protest the choice of honoree...
