...leaping at the chance to cross the river and help us reweave the fascinating fabric of our Allston community? Wouldn’t students and faculty at the School of Public Health enjoy the challenge of working with our often underserved population? While Harvard’s sages ponder how to ground the general education curriculum in knowledge of the real world, Allston is that world, just down the street...
...fateful decision to join the Marines—my toughest decision was whether or not to play hookey from school. I can’t imagine signing a declaration of my willingness to die for any cause—political views on Iraq aside. At 19, as I ponder my current toughest decisions—whether to take a class with one Nobel laureate or another—I hope that something I’m learning here will prepare me for the kind of decisions and hardship that we must all face at some point...

...difficult as Letters can be to watch, that fact might make it easier for Japanese audiences to embrace it. They aren't required to ponder the psychic cost of the battle on the survivors - few as there were - nor to wonder at the political mistakes that wrought horror from Manchuria to New Guinea. That's not the film Eastwood wanted to make, and that he chose not to takes nothing away from his accomplishment. But if he had, I doubt that Abe would have walked out of a screening calling it a "very good film" - and that $40 million gross...
