Prices are down and markets are hurting. Some might think it’s a buyer’s market out there (we couldn't tell you—we're barely passing Ec 10). So what has Harvard been investing in? Well, BJ Services, for one. Marvel comics and Chipotle burritos...

Celebrity jazz concerts are often dreary affairs—museums of dusty music where real jazz goes to die. Think of beige nights at Lincoln Center, the players wearing stiff suits, anxious to showcase their cool virtuosity while neglecting to tell a story with their music.

The show, which featured Kenny Barron on piano, Regina Carter on violin, Kurt Elling on vocals...

The lyrics are ambiguous yet clearly melancholy, with Barthel, declaring, “As far as I can see / Nobody loves me / As far as I can tell / Nobody loves you with her.” These lines are somewhat representative of those on the whole album. At no point are the lyrics particularly substantial, but they do at least usually depict vague sentiments of love, loss, tension, and frustration, while rarely remaining grammatically coherent for longer than...

...against the backdrop of shocking serial murders in a particularly poor section of England, the films tell the story of the West Yorkshire Constabulary and the corruption that has been eating away at the small police force for ten years. Spanning that decade, the audience is presented with a complex, moving look at this strange little place, the fear of three ruthless serial killers, and the desperation of having literally nowhere to turn in a town so filled with corruption...
