...home. Yet no matter how busy the students, professors and administrators of Harvard may be, if the University can spare a day every February to remember the great presidents of the past, it can take time once every four years to celebrate the potential of the next administration, to listen to the vision of those serving in our nation's highest office...
...cynical arguments that apathetic youth would fail to use the day in the spirit in which it is intended. If students are to be made good citizens as well as scholars, they must be trusted to make the most of Inauguration Day--not denied the opportunity to watch and listen lest some of their classmates choose to waste their new-found freedom.

And his rendition of "Only a Dream in Rio" was an embarrassment; I'm surprised he had the guts to deliver such a lackluster performance of that particular song...
...range of styles, but I wouldn't call him the most inventive. There are plenty of hip-hop artists who write their own lyrics and beats (something Wyclef often seems to neglect); what about real wordsmiths like the lesser-known the Roots and Common? Wyclef Jean is a good listen and a crowd pleaser, but I wouldn't go so far as to put him in the Top 10. ERIKA KRANZ Tallahassee...
