...eccentric, grinding single about a transvestite hooker--breaking onto MTV's Total Request Live. Last week Break the Cycle (Flip Records/Elektra), an angsty slab of dysfunction-metal from Staind, entered the charts at No. 1, selling a surprising 716,000 copies in one week. Right behind it was Lateralus (Tool Dissectional/Volcano), from arty gloom rockers Tool, which came out at No. 1 a week before, displacing red-hot girl group Destiny's Child.

...Rudenstine into the “company of educated men and women.” This welcome, repeated at every Commencement, presents a vision of college education that is universal and shared, where values and approaches are held in common across the disciplines. Yet Harvard’s central tool for shaping undergraduate education, the Core Program, has for years failed at its goal of introducing students to these shared values and to the various “approaches to knowledge” that education offers. The Core unnecessarily restricts students’ choice in shaping their academic careers...
