Moving forward, progress in developing new drugs has long been stalled by a combination of inadequate funding, regulatory bottlenecks, and tepid support from the pharmaceutical industry. Thanks largely to years of advocacy and the establishment of innovative public-private partnerships spanning the two sectors, new drugs and new models of clinical development are finally in the pipeline. Instead of developing new drugs one-by-one, the Critical Path to TB Regimens Initiative would bring together drug developers, under a “patients-first” commitment, to test their compounds together as an entirely new four-drug combination?...
...member of the Harvard community and as a Jewish activist, I applaud your thoughtful condemnation of Martin Kramer’s comments regarding Palestinians and the tepid response from the Weatherhead Center. Too often in our public conversation, basic human rights standards and the civility we expect towards the “other” (Jewish, African-American, Hispanics, etc) are not applied to Palestinians who are living under unconscionable distress in Gaza and the West Bank due largely to the Israeli occupation.

But when the spotlight shines on Harvard’s tepid historical exclusivity and even its more meritocratic modern-day place in America, it often fans the flames of scorn that burn under our ivory tower...
...Alice in Wonderland, which had reigned for the last three weeks and from which it had filched many of the venues that show movies in the zazzier 3-D format, where a $3 or $4 price hike on each ticket is the norm.

...Vietnam, while it raged, suffered the same Hollywood blackout.) But even when some directors grew a spine and attempted to dramatize the effects of the American adventure on its soldiers (In the Valley of Elah) and civilians (Lions for Lambs) or on U.S. foreign policy (Rendition), the response was tepid. No Middle East war film has earned even $50 million at the domestic box office, and the one that came closest, The Kingdom, was a gung-ho action picture. Nor has the public's apathy abated. The Best Picture, Director and Screenplay awards that The Hurt Locker won on Oscar...
