MONTGOMERY, Ala.—With little more than $30,000 and a few second-hand cars, two Harvard juniors headed down to Atlanta, Ga. during the summer of 1965. Crimson editors Ellen Lake ’66 and Peter Cummings ’66 had been to Mississippi the year before to register new black voters, but this time, they headed south not to scout out the disenfranchised, but to report on them...
...obesity does not evoke deprivation, and it's more complicated than a bad habit: it involves food.

In order for there to be productive debate on the merits of the cartoons and their publication, citizens (and Harvard community members) must actually see the images rather than accept mere second-hand accounts of their supposed religious insensitivity. The Salient’s bold move threw these cartoons into the limelight, as any student who glanced at the issue’s back page was forced to confront the images of the Prophet. When any paper chooses to publish these cartoons?...
