...back-to-basics movement, another swing of the ideological pendulum rather than a fresh look at what it would take to get more kids to calculus by 12th grade. If the script follows that of the Reading Wars, what comes next will be dreary times-tables recitals in unison, dull new books that fail to inspire understanding, and drill, drill, drill, much like the unhappy scenes in many of today's "Reading First" classrooms. And that would be just another kind of math fiasco--of the red variety. Kids will learn their times tables for sure, but they'll also...
...croon, more delta-bluesman than bearded white guy, reached new heights (and depths). Sampling equally from their last three releases, both of the Keys drove the beat to the bone, torturing earth-tinged blues from their instruments with such synchronicity that every head in the venue moved in unison.

Nambudiri ’09 and Amrapali Maitra ’10 alternated individual performances of the different forms before finishing off the act dancing in unison, showing the overlap between the two. Following the Pushpanjali was a wonderful song, performed by three singers, Rajiv Venkataramanan ’08, Vikas V. Mouli ’09, and Vaidya G. Rajagopalan ’08, proclaiming love for Lord Krishna. The singers, seemingly effortlessly, weaved together their...
...Momin M. Malik ’08 on the sitar. The trio began slowly, with each musician playing solo for a few minutes in order to give the others a feel for their style. Once comfortable with each other’s sound, the three began to play in unison, captivating those around them, with one student going so far as to motion frantically to his friend in the hall to come hear the trio. This kind of coming together of musicians was precisely the goal of the event, and the mission of HCARAR in general. According to Hufstedler...
