Harvard made the correct decision when it decided not to admit Gina Grant. The murder is not the issue: she has completely paid the debt society determined she owed. Grant should be denied admission because she misrepresented herself--lied, either with an outright lie or with a lie by omission--on her application.

His paean to Florence, "Firenze e come un albero fiorito," is somewhat stilted, and his voice is strained in the upper register...
