...others; for obvious reasons, many faculty members prefer to teach courses in their niches. But these preferences do not excuse curricular holes in educating students broadly and with necessary foundational knowledge. History 10a aims to be “a survey of Mediterranean and West European societies from Greco-Roman antiquity to the Scientific Revolution.” Most students entering the College have had little formal exposure to such comprehensive material—and many want such an exposure. According to the CUE Guide, of the 143 students who enrolled in History 10a last year, 93 of them chose...
...locals in Bonito, Italy. The 11th of 14 children, Ferragamo had always dreamed of creating the perfect shoe. He traveled to Boston, where he joined his brother working at a footwear company, before hitting Hollywood in the 1920s and opening the Hollywood Boot Shop.

Brewer points out that the CSA has “a total non-discrimination policy,” but Roman Catholic doctrine limits full participation in its church services to baptized Catholics. There are only a handful of Catholics in HRCF— hardly anyone double-bills with the CSA. Mostly, the groups stay separate, and considering how similar they are in terms of purpose and rhetoric, they?...
...district is named after Jan Zizka, a one-eyed Czech Protestant warrior who, in 1420, defeated Holy Roman Empire crusaders on Vitkov Hill. A granite equestrian statue of Zizka sits at the top of the hill; at the foot is the pub U vystrelenyho oka (The Shot-Out Eye)?the name, of course, a tribute to Zizka's missing orb. The slightly scruffy venue offers weekly live rock, blues and alternative music and typical Czech pub food?that is, everything is bread crumbed and fried. Try Hermelin, a Czech version of Camembert cheese pickled in oil with garlic...
