...cats for sale in pet stores, so I don't have to urge people away from that as much as I do with dogs. I'm a shelter person but not a fanatic, and I fully appreciate that people want a purebred cat.

...actually the greatest strength of “Serenade.” Balanchine’s choreography is spectacular because of its seamlessness. The 17 dancers are skillfully woven together in a technically challenging 40-minute ballet. And since there is little story to follow, the choreography requires particular attention to technique...

Designed to control flooding and provide electricity to three percent of the nation’s inhabitants, it has even been touted by Forbes as one of the modern wonders of the world...

Striving to breed an army of investment bankers unencumbered by a clear set of values and a basic understanding of the society in which they live is, after all, much more politically correct. With the passage of our new undergraduate curriculum, the Faculty have finally woken up to what any good relativist could have told you decades ago: Harvard’s curriculum...
