...satisfying by the end of its layered loudness. But after the fairly boring “Break in Case of Anything,” “Infinifold” closes the disc with a slow, melodic shift that could be on the soundtrack of “Garden State?? for its over-the-top effort to elicit emotion. Despite its obvious goal, “Myth Takes” is not so much hit or miss as either dance-commanding or mildly acrid. That’s the catch of looping disco-punk beats, after...

Unfortunately, too many Massachusetts students drop out of high school before reaching this milestone—a sad effect of the state??s policy to mandate education only until age 16. At least 15 states, however, have adopted a minimum dropout age of 18, netting diplomas for a vastly larger population. Massachusetts Governor Deval L. Patrick ’78 recently proposed such an increase here, and we join...
