Biograph, a handily priced ($30) five-record retrospective of Dylan's career, is a heady reminder of his importance, the sort of overview usually given only to artists entering their eighth decade or ones who have met an untimely end. Dylan, however, released his 29th album, Empire Burlesque, in June, and, on that evidence, is still working at full power. So Columbia Records' release of Biograph puts him into a unique position: he is competing with himself, and is stacked up against his own past besides. No wonder he has professed mixed feelings about the Biograph project and took...
...social sciences departments hold similar events. To assist students who are already more focused in their interests, or students who are interested in learning more about a particular field, we also ask each department to hold its own smaller open house where both instructors and concentrators could provide an overview of their fields. Finally, we encourage wider advising during freshman week for students who are entirely undecided on even a broad field of study. Before their first shopping period, freshmen should have an inkling of where to start in Harvard’s voluminous course catalog...
...serve to fill in some of the educational holes left by the distribution requirements by surveying large academic domains. In other words, if a student only takes classes on volcanoes to fulfill his or her science requirements, a Harvard College Course will ideally give him or her a broader overview of the sciences that, while perhaps including geology, is not limited...
...order to reach this aim, the structure of Harvard College Courses should follow the example of classes like Social Studies 10. This class does an excellent job of providing an overview of the major thinkers and ideas in social science; and the teaching style of the course could easily be replicated. Equally important is ensuring that Teaching Fellows (TFs) for Harvard College Courses are especially well-trained teachers. The committee suggests that Harvard College Courses should consist of two hour-long lectures and two hour-long sections per week. Classes will very likely be dependent on TFs, and therefore...
...overview of what “end-of-life choices” mean for Schiavo, I refer you to the Exit Protocol prepared for her in 2003 by her health care providers (available online at http://www.cst-phl.com/050113/sixth.html). In the midst of her starvation, Terri will most likely be treated for “pain or discomfort” and nausea which may arise as the result of the supposedly humane process of bringing about her death. (Remember that Schiavo is not terminally ill.) She may be given morphine for respiratory distress and may experience seizures. This protocol confirms what...
