...Brutus and Cassius. It seemed at times that it might have become a play about current events, or political truths, but the production never quite reached that point. It worked quite well, however, as a showcase for some great acting and for the language and story of the play itself??a feature that on its own is enough to recommend the show...
Though Thoreson’s transformation of a daunting, forbidding academic competition into a learning experience—not a conduit to success, but a valuable endeavor in and of itself??is perhaps extreme, it is to be admired. Perhaps we mortals can approximate his keen appreciation and earnestness, in other, less punishing ways: the transformation of a routine Core class into a learning experience; of office hours into an engaging conversation; of the library into more than an espresso bar and a place to cram...

The purchase of RECs compensates for the fossil fuels currently used by the buildings. The RECs do not actually supply energy that Harvard will consume itself??the money goes to support a wind farm in Minnesota, indirectly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Harvard will provide enough RECs to offset 10 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions produced this year by the 30 buildings, which is the equivalent of removing 2000 cars from the road over...
