Harvard provides myriad artistic performances. However, its not always obvious how culturally diverse these performance groups are.Cultural Rhythms, an annual event organized by the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations which took place Saturday afternoon, proved that there is no better manifestation of the talent and diversity of Harvard College than cultural music and dance.Artist of the Year, Dan Aykroyd, the distinguished actor, musician, and screenwriter, expressed admiration for these enormously different performing groups and their well-rehearsed presentations. “I’ll never forget this day,” Aykroyd claimed. “This...
...sales helped China pass a milestone. For the first time ever, more cars were sold in China (735,000 vehicles) in a month than were sold in the U.S. (657,000).

A confused young Everyman journeys to the top of a mountain, where he is instructed by a wise old man given to restating the obvious ("Find and use the good that is hidden in the bad time"). The peaks and valleys of the title are the ups and downs of life that we all must master in our own way. Got it? Next time out, one hopes that the author--who has a genuine talent...
