Kara E. Kaufman ’08 has a difficult time staying still. As she walks briskly past the stage at the Loeb Drama Center, the former rhythmic gymnast may just as well have been on a landing mat, about to launch into a somersault. She sits down on the edge of a seat and restlessly gazes at the stage.The senior has been stage-managing for the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club (HRDC) for the past four years and served as president last year. In addition to learning more about the process of theater production, Kaufman has grown personally from...

The song’s simplicity only makes its chronicle of unspoken love that much more beautiful. Though more in line with the rest...
...superstar bacteria stick around in your intestines a lot longer," says Dr. Gary Huffnagle, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan and co-author of The Probiotics Revolution. In the digestive tract, the bacteria help regulate and restore peristalsis, the rhythmic motion of the intestine that pushes digested food through. There's a reason one of the bugs has the word regularis as its second name, and this intestinal toning is it. "Doesn't matter if you are constipated or the opposite," Huffnagle says. "These bacteria can help make you, um, regular...
