If religion is not placed in its own category, religious courses will be too easily bypassed by students skeptical of their worth. If Harvard’s objective is to inform its students about faith, an aspect of cultural tradition that is unique from...

What he pulled off, and what he inspired, still seems something like a fantasy. A single record by a group of British rock stars organized by Geldof under the rubric Band Aid raised $11 million. The Live Aid concert, held in London and Philadelphia the same July day and broadcast live around the world, brought in an additional $72 million. The success of these projects, as well as Geldof s cocky fervor, inspired such allied enterprises as FarmAid, Fashion...
