...major goal of the summer subcommittee is to produce a report that is longer and more thorough than the nine-page March report. The Draft Final Report is far shorter than the reports of curricular reviews in past decades, such as the Redbook of the late 1940s, a national bestseller that laid out a theory of a liberal arts education for a post-war American society...
...1940s and 1970s, each pioneered tenets of undergraduate education that came to dominate Harvard and the rest of the nation. The 1945 review under then-University President James B. Conant ’14 essentially invented the idea of general education; its report, the “Redbook,” sold 40,000 copies in a few years. Former Dean of the Faculty Henry A.

(Their survey shows women favor the missionary position, while men tend to want the woman...
Look carefully at the cover of the July Redbook. It looks like JULIA ROBERTS, but it's not. Oh, that's Julia Roberts' head and Julia Roberts' body, but the head is from a photo taken in 2002, and the body is from the premiere of Notting Hill in 1999. Apparently acting on the theory that the whole is less than the sum of its parts, Redbook cut and pasted the two images to form a single, beautiful but inhuman Julia. (Cover line: THE REAL JULIA. Irony much?) Now the real real Julia is hopping mad. To restore journalistic integrity...
