Kopit ’59 , who wrote “Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ So Sad,” which premiered at the Agassiz Theatre in 1960 before moving to Broadway, and which was also the first production mounted at Harvard’s New College Theatre, thinks the state of affairs for the past five decades has been a good one.“Thank...
...small study, the researchers scanned the brains of 26 men as they each performed a simple task: choosing one symbol from a pair of symbols. After each selection, the participant was presented with a smiley face or sad face, depending on the symbol he had chosen. All men were equally good at learning to pick the symbols that won them a smiley face, but some men were worse than others at avoiding the ones that resulted in sad faces.

I even remember feeling a bit sad when my train pulled into Chicago’s Union Station. The trip had not only been enormously productive—with no Internet to keep me permanently on the grid and more hours than I could hope for to read and sleep—but had also been enormously...
