...student, I beat a path between Canaday or Dunster and my classes and I spent a ton of time in the library and watching movies. My day started at 11 in the morning and ended at 3 at night and I did a ton of work. As a professor, I have a family and we’re very close, but I do stupid dad things like fall asleep on the couch at 10 o’clock, while reading a book that I’m teaching the next...
When this kind of selection process is replicated for 4000 other students (it is safe to bet that a slim minority masochistically challenge themselves in their Core selections), something else happens: the Core becomes ludicrously easy. For most Harvard kids, their Core selections represent the path of least resistance. I have no inclination to take Math 1a, and certainly not Math 21a, because I can always take “The Magic of Numbers.” Likewise, someone uninterested in philosophy would not fulfill their Moral Reasoning requirement by taking Philosophy 168: “Kant?...

...foray onto the empty alt-country road has never been brighter, more decisive or had more reverb. Where Tennessee Fire drunkenly laid out maps and 2001’s beautiful At Dawn sounded the ignition, the new album pulls out all the stops along the 72-minute path. The beer-stained pool halls and one-night plans of James’ hitchhiker poetry all point to a Neil Young education, while his cyclic, hypnotizing voice (falling between that of early Young and a drunken Wayne Coyne) is as seductive as always. As James himself describes it: “Soft...
