...proposed renaming of Plympton Street would honor the journalist David L. Halberstam ’55, who died last year. Halberstam, a former managing editor of The Crimson, is no small figure in history. He covered the Civil Rights movement for The New York Times and won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the early Vietnam War, and he wrote more than 20 books before he died in a car crash on the way to an interview almost a year ago.

The exercise in priming was part of Kahneman’s talk on judgment and intuition yesterday in Yenching Auditorium. Despite being...

Koch ’08-’09, last year’s recipient of the Suzanne Farrell Dance Prize and the choreographer of the first of the performance’s four dances, says that the new performance venue gave the dance program, which had previously been confined to its one performance space at the Dance Center even more space. Koch’s piece, “fallen,falling...
