The Harvard Corporation is unlikely to open the endowment’s coffers, so the University—like all corporations—has a limited budget, and therefore endeavors to minimize its costs.

Named for its lethal drumbeat and infectious lyrics, the video for “Bird Flu” sends the native Sri Lankan back to her roots for a low-budget production that could double as the M.I.A edition of MTV’s ‘Cribs.’ While prancing in a tie-dyed shirt and policeman’s badge, M.I.A. leads a gyrating pack of six-year-olds in a wild parade down the streets of a third...
