The Society for Creative Anachronism shares space with Harvard’s anime and sci-fi clubs, a fact that is funny only when one learns that the Society is dedicated to re-creating the arts and skills of pre-17th century civilizations. Neon Genesis Evangelion, Battlestar Galactica, and the ancient Phoenicians—what a combo!Maybe unforeseen synergies will indeed arise from these student space shotgun marriages. But many of them raise serious concerns. Harvard’s three competing satire magazines share the same offices, which will make it hard...
