...faculty. Harvard Dance Director Elizabeth W. Bergmann has re-staged her quartet “They Say We Travel the Same Road” for student dancers to perform in the upcoming production.

The first Megatrends (1982) was a publishing phenomenon that sold over 9 million copies and spent two years on the New York Times best-seller list.

Opposition was intense: some lawmakers protested the vote, and seven members of Parliament were suspended for disorderly behavior. Ultimately, the bill passed with a large majority...
Nancy Gibbs' otherwise excellent article about sexual harassment and abuse of women in the armed services omits a glaring, well-documented fact [March 8]: one of the reasons so many incidents of harassment and even assault are not reported is that women who report them are routinely accused of being lesbians. Women (and men) in the military can be subject to intrusive, abusive and distracting investigations into their private lives based on a single unfounded allegation about their sexuality. As long as our nation's military has a policy that makes fear of gays and lesbians more important than punishing...
