...problem with My December is that it isn't particularly great rock. Even those dismayed by what American Idol hath wrought (consider my hand raised) have to admit Clarkson has a strapping, swooping voice. But it lacks a defined personality, reflected in the bloated industrial-Pat Benatar knockoffs ("Haunted," "Don't Waste My Time," the single "Never Again") that dominate the album. When they aren't in that mode, Clarkson and her new, hardly avant-garde producer David Kahne (Bangles, Sugar Ray) dabble with proven formulae: They know a solemn ballad must start with a lone strummed guitar ("Sober...
...Make it memorable. While the red brick, wrought iron, and green yards of Harvard are a beloved University signature and will remain iconic for Harvard, we envision a contemporary, 21st century campus in Allston that will add a new dimension to Harvard’s image. It will be different, but equally as wonderful as Harvard’s Cambridge campus, with design, materials, proportions, and continuity echoing the excellence of Harvard’s campus today. Environmental sustainability will be built into every design decision, from the roads to the heating and cooling to the pedestrian walkways. The urban...
...hard to imagine how any wood could be reused after the devastation and subsequent mold infestations, finding raw material has been the easy part.

Along the way, I've come to believe that we're looking for why in all the wrong places...
What Europe Hath Wrought Re the cover story about Europe since the Treaty of Rome [March 26]: I was sad to see that my favorite magazine has fallen for the European Commission spin. While the report cited 20 benefits from the European Union (E.U.), it was a pity the article did not list the 40 things the E.U. has not done. Auditors have not been able to approve the annual accounts for the European Economic Community because of fraud and corruption. Democracy has been destroyed, since most of our laws are now made by bureaucrats in Brussels...
