...this particular system might not be the best fit for Harvard, it sends a clear message that we should seek to echo: Our institution will not graduate people unfit to engage actively with the world around them. Why aren’t we sending that message now? We can thank former University President James B. Conant ’13, who justified his decision to scrap the Geography Department in 1948 with the famous line: “Geography is not a University subject.” Other American universities took heed, and within a short period of time, geography...
...Thank God the real talents of this film, like Sutherland, more-or-less direct themselves, otherwise “The Wild” would be too trivial to recommend (despite the terrific animation). William Shatner, taking a break from his deservedly thankless stint on “Boston Legal,” hilariously empowers Kazar, a diabolical carnivorous wildebeest-choreographer, in a nearly show-stopping display of dramatic versatility. But the show remains Sutherland’s in the end, as Kazar appears too infrequently to co-opt the film...
...rather admire them. In a time of globalization, wherever I go I see the same shops, the same food chains and the same clothing, and yet the French want to maintain their distinctiveness.

...busted pickup. It is a little after 7 a.m. and the mayor is standing in a grassy median, ignoring fumes from three lanes of rush-hour traffic to glad-hand voters in hopes of getting reelected in the city that Hurricane Katrina battered and left for dead. "Thank you, baby, need your help!" Nagin says, reaching into a car to shake hands. An African-American man in dreadlocks hops out of his car to have his picture taken with the mayor in the middle of the street. "When hard-core 'hood brothers do that, sumpin? is up," says the mayor...
