From his birthplace in Calvinist Geneva, Jean-Jacques Rousseau migrated toward the hub of Enlightenment-era intellectual activity in Paris. Now, in a new biography, Bernbaum Professor of Literature Leo Damrosch returns Rousseau to center stage, where he belongs. Like a swift alpine stream, Damrosch’s writing is as enchanting as it is effortless. The biography is not only a pleasant read, but a welcome addition to bookshelves. Damrosch likes to note that this is the first single-volume Rousseau biography to be written in English. In an interview with The Crimson, Damrosch characterizes the only other...
...construction. Layered upon the regular rumble of city traffic, these sounds combine to form an impenetrable sheet of noise. Such are the melodies of the city. Here, too, pollution haunts our neighborhoods and threatens our collective health. Woe unto the man who drinks from the River Charles, a stream whose contents are about as wholesome as a visit to About Hair, the city’s best known salon-cum-den-of-prostitution.

In 1993 Germany expanded its recycling program to include all product packaging -- from gum wrappers to yogurt cups. A glut of recyclables has hampered the program, but the Germans are committed to making it work...
...weeks of announcing David Letterman's arrival early this year, CBS bought the old vaudeville theater, thus committing itself to a crazy, six-month renovation schedule. Polshek, an unerring and seriously underrated architect, not only rewired and replumbed the place and removed the cat-size rats and the running stream from the basement, but he also peeled away 57-year-old walls to discover the theater's original four-story Neo-Gothic apses on either side of the stage and, throughout the theater, a vast amount of decorative plasterwork, 40% of which ! needed replacing. In addition, a modern TV infrastructure...
