...modern era Harvard has been a leader in every great civil rights movement. Under Presidents Derek Bok and Neil Rudenstine Harvard took the lead among universities in recognizing the equality of its gay and lesbian members. Today the U.S. Supreme Court and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court remind us that homosexuality does not deprive a person of fundamental rights.

Ghosts are what history sends to remind the living that it is not done with us. This fall the shades of the 1980s have been lurking in the cobwebbed corners of America's pop culture: Michael Jackson, staring from his mug shot like a revenant; Ronald Reagan, whose culture wars CBS exhumed with its planned, then canceled mini-series.

...Houston Cassettes is a duo playing catchy, pop-rock, a la early Pavement and Guided by Voices. They create guitar pop with breezy melodies and humorous lyrics and remind us that songwriting can still be fun. A Wish for Fire, a trio of musicians with eclectic influences, creates what the band likes to call “romantic pop,” with tinges of blues, Motown, and of course, psychedelic rock. The band’s minimalist approach to music bares the songwriting underneath. International Pen Pal and The Casual Lean also perform. 9 p.m. Tickets...
