Harvard needs to learn from history and avoid replacing one academic fad with another. The Task Force’s focus on “today’s issues” is just as arbitrary and transient as the “ways of learning” system developed and introduced in 1979.

Yet, as in many parts of Sydney's western suburbs, what was a dull main street a decade ago has become lively. On any day along Haldon Street, you'll see women covered head-to-toe pushing prams, restaurants that are busy around the clock and clothing...
