...cheers that rang through the northern Vietnamese town after one of the country's first coal-fired power plants began operating. "Their whole lives they had wished for electricity." Be careful what you wish for. Soon after the plant opened, Dang's wife developed a cough from the thick black smoke from the power plant that hung over the town. His children had near-constant runny noses and neighbors reported other nagging health problems. When Vietnam's government announced plans to add a second coal-fired generator in 2005, villagers didn't celebrate. "The people cried out," Dang says...
...midriff. Bennett yelled something flattering in her direction. This caught the attention of Maya D. Simpson ’11, who was sitting a few rows away.

Misty’s viewpoint should make amends for the film’s saccharine nature. The story he shares is told through the dreamy, forgiving magnifying glass of childhood nostalgia, an easy conduit to the intended core idea of the film: fulfillment through...
...Poppies Near Vétheuil and Manet's In the Garden of Bellevue hanging in the downstairs salon. But the vibrancy and luminosity of those Impressionist masters are just a foretaste of this small but exquisite museum's offerings. Upstairs, for instance, is Van Gogh's The Sower, whose thick brushstrokes and bright greens, yellows and blues announced a new style for the artist at an especially troubled period of his life: only two months after finishing it in 1888, Van Gogh argued with Gauguin and famously cut off part...
