...Yeah Yeah Yeahs have spent the past two years arguing over not just how to reach more people but also who their collective self really is. Chase, 28, and O, 27, became friends while enrolled at Oberlin College. O and Zinner, 33, met in New York City, forged an instant bond and became platonic roommates. All three have cared for one another just long enough to be pained by the fact that they no longer agree on everything. When it came to their next musical step, Zinner wanted the group to stay true to its grimy roots. O argued that...
Some 200 universities have jumped onto the eat-local haywagon--half of them since 2001, according to the Community Food Security Coalition, an advocacy group based in Venice, Calif. For many of these academic foodies, buying local is only part of an educational mission. Scholars like Oberlin environmental-studies professor David Orr advocate "ecological literacy," tying agriculture to the study of fiction, history, science, economics and politics. In a form of dirty-fingernail "experiential learning," some 45 universities and colleges, from Maine's Bowdoin to Minnesota's St. Olaf, have started campus farms.

Next year only the elementary grades will remain; Grade 6 and up will be bused some 30 miles to Oberlin or Hoxie. It's expected that the younger kids will be bused away as well. "It's beyond fighting," says Sharon Hickert, a loan officer at the Jennings Bank. The bank and a caf are the last businesses on the strip. "We've seen a heckuva decline in the 12 years that I've been here...
Rees moved to the Boston area in 1994 after graduating from Oberlin College. When he wasn’t working odd jobs for a temp agency, he spent his six years here working on early versions of his current comic strips. At that point, he hadn’t really touched on politics in his artwork—his big projects were “My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable,” a cartoon about ninjas who do nothing but yell at each other and make threats, and its office humor spin...
