...last three semesters I’ve written a Crimson column on animal protection, and for many years I’ve been a strict vegetarian. During that time, many friends and readers have voiced their surprise that I care so much about such an unlikely cause. Many, I think, have simply assumed I’ve always been this way—as if I were born with a PETA membership card and an inexplicably visceral distaste...
...Such stories, and the broader reality they encapsulate, first persuaded me to buy only free-range meat, and later to become a strict vegetarian. I’ve never fully accepted any abstract theory of animal rights, nor do I think one needs to in order to sense that something has gone horribly wrong.

...course, declaring a pandemic isn't a decision that should be taken lightly.

...this is a time for Harvard to spend, and spend handsomely, in order to seize another opportunity to improve its international reach, quality of education, and commitment to its ideals. It is a well-known and documented problem that most of the funds that Harvard has are overseen by strict stipulations of how they can be spent. Neither the state of Massachusetts nor the lawyers of those who have donated to Harvard throughout the years are easy to please–but this is a unique time, when they may be more amenable to change. That is precisely...
