...arguing over the nature and scale of Islamic immigration actually gives the doomsayers too much credit, because they never establish why a demographic shift, were it to occur, would be a problem. Adomanis tells us that “the Europe we know today will soon be gone,” but why should we care?

We hope that next year sees a greater number of similar activities?...
...Walk, a tour of 12 exhibitions in local galleries and student spaces organized by the Harvard College Art Society (H-Art), is this year’s kick-off event to the Arts First weekend, and represents a major shift in control for a signature aspect of the whole festival. The event has been a staple of Arts First for years, but this is the first year the walk is being produced by a student group. “It’s like a giant parade through some of the major art galleries that are exhibiting for Arts First...
