...downfall of much campus activism, and what makes it so infuriating and alienating to many, is that rather than appealing to rationality and logic, it appeals to emotions and volatility. A perfect example of this was HRL’s series of “Elena” posters last year. These posters began with a fertilized egg which proudly proclaimed to be Elena, excited to be “alive” and “unique;” but they did not provide real information to the readers other than pointing out that the zygote had chromosomes?...

...brightest, from Massachusetts senator and vocal abolitionist Charles Sumner to 19th century landscape painter Winslow Homer. But even with all those skeletons lurking below, the cemetery’s well-manicured lawns and gravestones make the place more sedate than scary.
