...receives II’s. The real fear amongst students is that employers will only look at candidates with the best grades. But since IIs are so common, there will be little measurable differentiation between the top 75 percent of every HBS class. For those lower down on the totem pole, the very signal that they got into HBS in the first place should carry sufficient weight.HBS should make grade release optional to shore up its reputation with employers and ensure that students give the school’s academics more than lip-service. Students should be able to keep...
...photos, and all the rest. The best of them have thousands of words written about them over the course of their careers. Most of that ink just happens to come from their college or local newspapers.But as the Ancient Eight has climbed its way up the Division I-AA totem pole, the national media has ratcheted up its coverage in turn, peaking with its treatment of Brown senior running back Nick Hartigan this fall. Hartigan, who leads the league in rushing yards (1,498) and touchdowns (17), was profiled in both USA Today and the New York Times in advance...
...graveyard into their artworks. Kotch Voraakhon, a GSD student, uses the headstones to create rubbings, or places inverted versions of the text printed into clay on the graves themselves. As she arranges shards of dried clay, Michael P. Marotta ’06 passes around digital prints of the totem he has been working on at the site.

Taking as its subject the painted landscape, it's a terrific show - from the airily spiritual (Pedro Wonaeamirri's totem poles) to the patently superficial (Jemima Wyman's fluoro forests). While at times dark in theme (in particular, Madeleine Kelly's ecological dreamscapes are eerily resonant of inundated New Orleans), it's enough to raise your spirits about the state of contemporary art. The buoyant mood continues upstairs on the fourth...
...right is so iconic, such a totem of this particular moment. Coulter epitomizes the way politics is now discussed on the airwaves, where opinions must come violently fast and cause as much friction as possible. No one, right or left, delivers the required apothegmatic commentary on the world with as much glee or effectiveness as Coulter. It is almost impossible to watch her and not be sluiced into rage or elation, depending on your views. As a congressional staff member 10 years ago, Coulter used to help write the nation's laws. Now she is far more powerful: she helps...
