Over the past few months, Harvard's 350th anniversary machine has matched the success of the best public relations firms. Its dozens of press releases promote a sanitized version of history and take little note of controversy over 350 years of Harvard past. The University Archives has refused to release photographs of student protests. And, to provide the perfect backdrop for alumni snapshots this week, Harvard has scrubbed its walls, trimmed its lawns, and even planted several new, fully grown trees to fill in bare spots in the Yard...

Says Deborah Agre of the Coalition for the Medical Rights of Women: "Women feel they can more legitimately ask, if not demand, that men take responsibility."

The worry is that unbridled competition will force many more old-line British houses to merge or go out of business. Says Ian Kerr, a British executive with Kidder, Peabody International: "The City of London has handed itself...
...seeming naivete of Swiss Director Francois Rochaix and American Designer Robert Israel, however, is the result of a thoughtful and ultimately respectful examination of the sense of the piece. Rochaix and Israel are not the first to note the parallels between Wagner's life and his works, but few have ever acted on them so explicitly. Central to understanding the Seattle Opera's Ring is the notion that Wagner and Wotan are cognates, and that just as the composer uses leitmotivs, or musical symbols, to weave and bind his sprawling tapestry, so should Wotan employ theatrical symbols -- props -- to underscore...
