...over 200 people filling the Emerson Hall lecture hall before him, a debate-mongering Harvard Law School (HLS) professor set to speak after him, and members of a pro-Israel student group leafletting his event outside, the renowned MIT linguist and noted anti-Zionist Noam Chomsky delivered a remarkably soft 45-minute chronology of Israeli-Palestinian history yesterday. Chomsky walked audience members through a careful timeline of Israeli actions against the Palestinians, issuing academic criticisms of the United States and various scholars for their attitudes on the subject. About half of the event’s attendees had filtered...

The German brothers removed much of the overt sexuality from their retellings of traditional folk tales, but they seemed to have a soft spot for dismembering their younger characters and feeding them to the wolves. This Saturday, Harvard’s Sunken Garden Children’s Theater will bring twisted Grimm humor to audiences of all ages with their performance of “The Three Spinners.” Choosing a Brothers Grimm story...
