...first is that the sad songs are really sad. At the Mercy gets past the sentimental and into the startling fact that genuine love can leave you powerless and insecure. Riding to Vanity Fair, a trippy ballad about rejected friendship, is the most misanthropic thing the composer of Ob-La-Di has ever recorded. He insists it's not directed at anyone in particular, and the lyrics--"You're not aware/ Of what you put me through/ But now the feeling's gone"--don't offer up any autobiographical clues, but it seethes with bitterness. The trick to these very...
Despite the unfailingly kooky nature of his projects, Pasternack is serious about breaking down the barriers in Harvard’s art world. Last year, he founded Present!, an “ob-literary” magazine-turned-art-collective which Pasternack calls a “life band.” While they do produce a magazine—the premier issue was released last year and there will be a second release this month—the bulk of their activity involves staging “happenings” on campus...

Some adventurous members of Present! even left copies of the magazine...
...obstetricians-gynecologists saw an average 19.6 percent increase in premiums, and emergency room trauma specialists saw a 56.2 percent increase from 2002 to 2003. These increasingly higher costs can force doctors to take extreme measures, such as refusing to perform specific procedures—last summer, half of the ob-gyns in Tacoma, Wash. refused to deliver babies—and even moving their practices to states with lower premiums. The Philadelphia Daily News reported that over the last two years, close to 500 doctors have left Pennsylvania, with 77 percent heading to states that limit malpractice damages in some...
