Sadly, it is impossible to examine the HFA shakeup without fitting it into a consistent pattern of administrators marginalizing the arts, a symptom that jeopardizes Harvard’s stature.

Doctors are making progress toward finding ways to avoid the inflammation...

Just like these other medical disorders, the symptoms reflect abnormal physiology—in the case of mental disorders, abnormal physiology of the brain. Just like diabetes or heart disease, which we would treat with both medical and behavioral interventions (drugs, diet and exercise), we treat depression, anxiety disorders and the like with medications and cognitive or behavioral...
