...must rejoin the discussion. The secretive and stand-alone style the University has preferred over the years has produced a lamentable history of failed community relations in Cambridge, Boston, and elsewhere. By turning its back on the Charlesview project it has privately engineered, Harvard risks another iteration of that sad pattern. We ask President Faust and all our Harvard neighbors not to let this happen. Let’s reopen the conversation on Charlesview, and this time take a larger view of how this relocation could benefit us all. Let’s work together to design a new community...
...we’ve been knocking down barriers like it’s going out of style ever since, but this is a slippery SAT II slope you’re skipping down. Know where it ends? Sex weeks, Richard Alpert, and lecturers who grade with “sad faces.” It’d be like the lower school at Milton Academy, or Brown. You’d be laughingstocks without your army of 1600-scoring—excuse me, 2400-scoring—cyborgs...

Tragically my convictions were put to the test when I discovered that a possible Vice President of the United States represents all those tragic values. Does it really seem wise, in an age when the bonds between...
...someone who supports legitimate artists and is a collector of original art - albeit on a modest level - I am offended how British "Bad Boy" artist, Damien Hirst, is raping and plundering the art world. He is merely another in a sad and long string of con men who found a gimmick and capitalized on it, suckering those wannabes who are more interested in bragging rights than promoting a fresh, honest talent in the art world. Dead animals preserved in formaldehyde and a diamond-encrusted skull - is this even legal? Spin paintings done by studio assistants - give me a break; kids...
