In the last year the Harvard Book Store has brought big names such as Stephen King, Madeleine Albright, and Tom Brokaw to Harvard Square for talks and book-signings. Though he is planning on selling, Kramer said that he hopes he can remain involved in the life of the store in some capacity. “If I could remain a part of it in some way I would like...

As Senator Clinton and her supporters demonstrated, the candidates and the voters make history...

They were simpler times, growing up in Cambridge; every sports fan I knew liked the Red Sox, every sports fan I knew liked the Patriots, and the only subject of debate was whether Tom Brady was the greatest quarterback of all time, or merely the greatest quarterback of his generation.
