...most basic level, the new committee established by Dean Evelynn M. Hammonds to determine housing eligibility should use the broadest possible guidelines to maximize the number of students who can remain on campus. For students who wish to work for the Institute of Politics, rehearse with their dance troupe, or work at a Boston-based company, housing is a fundamental need. Asking these students to find temporary housing elsewhere because their activities are not explicitly tied to the College would be unreasonable—not only because it disproportionately affects students with fewer financial resources, but also because it runs...
...enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those dwellings. And it would take an average of 65 years for the reduced carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by demolishing an old one. So in the broadest sense, the greenest home is the one that has already been built. But at the same time, nearly half of U.S. carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and powering our homes, offices and other buildings. "You can't deal with climate change without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard...
...book Rapt. There are things you can't control: the family you are born into or your genes, for example. But that's not important. What is important is what you attend to, those things or people you consciously choose to set your mind on. Defined in the broadest sense of the word, "attention" and focus" can extend to anything.

...agree? We've got to change this policy on Gaza. It doesn't work. Hamas gets what they want through the tunnels and civil society is put at a disadvantage. We've got to help the people in Gaza. I'd like to see humanitarian help in its broadest sense going in - that's not just food and fuel but also help in rebuilding infrastructure and houses. The Israelis obviously are concerned about anything that might have a security implication. But we have to distinguish between what is a security risk [for the Israelis] and, as it were, a decision...
...awakened East Coast rap from a protracted hibernation and established one of the genre’s most vital lyricists. Yet “Notorious,” the glossy new biopic of Biggie Smalls, paints Wallace’s transformation into a man in only the broadest, brightest strokes. For a movie trying to revive interest in one of rap’s most storied and complicated figures—a movie trying to give Biggie life after death—“Notorious” is rather lifeless. The toughest dilemma that biopics face is deciding where...
