...consider the three best inventions of all time to be money, markets and media." But while Miller does his best to avoid sounding too academic (and has an ear for pulled-from-TMZ.com phrases like "insecure, praise-starved flattery-sluts"), his broad, rambling arguments read at times like a college professor's lecture notes. Worse still, his ideas don't seem particularly groundbreaking. In fact, some seem downright antiquated: Men buy Porsches to project power, women use eyeliner to look pretty, and everyone seeks attention without realizing they're going about it all wrong.

University President Drew G. Faust said she has found herself speaking “endlessly” this past year of the anticipated 30 percent decline in the endowment. Last Monday, FAS Dean Michael D. Smith added to the growing list of reductions by announcing an array of budget cuts that primarily affected the College. “We need to focus not on what we have...
...office, and Dean of Undergraduate Education Jay M. Harris, who also chairs the Gen Ed committee, will serve as its faculty director. The Gen Ed office will absorb its predecessor, the Core office, according to College Dean Evelynn M. Hammonds. Gen Ed committee member and Slavic Professor Julie Buckler said that Harris told the committee at a recent meeting that the new office will be in the Holyoke Center and that the administration is hoping to have offices available for teaching fellows. Harris, Kenen, Hammonds, and Core Program Director Susan W. Lewis declined to comment further. In the meantime...
