...concentrators about these reforms via e-mail. Athena L.M. Lao ’12, a freshman who plans to concentrate in Classics, said that she learned about the upcoming changes through the Crimson and her TFs. “When the changes they have in mind are set in stone, I think it’s important they communicate them so people know what they’re getting into,” Lao said. Duffy said that he hopes that the changes will encourage freshmen to become Classics concentrators. But neither Lao nor Christopher J. McCarthy...
...opening lines—Socrates’ famous defense “The unexamined life is not worth living” reaffirmed millennia later by the booming voice of Cornel West—but in its recreation of a world where philosophers wandered regularly among market places and stone forums. Eight of today’s most prominent thinkers are set loose from their offices and classrooms by director Astra Taylor to roam the sites of daily life—airports, parks, Fifth Avenue. While the philosophers’ ruminations lose their grounding in academic method, the liveliness that takes...
Travis Chamberlain, 30, shares this sincerity. I met him halfway through the protest march, where Columbia Boulevard starts to sag toward the Columbia River. Tall and broad-shouldered, he was leaning against a stone wall, filming the protesters - for Mayo, he said - with a small Taiwanese Aiptek HD camera.

...partially excavated remains lie spread out in the forest, connected by stone causeways (the Maya were the world's first highway builders). The expanse of the site is breathtaking: thousands of ruins lie over an area of 23 square miles (38 sq km). Towering 236 ft. (72 m) over it all is the Danta pyramid, of greater volume than the Egyptian pyramid of Cheops and affording sweeping views of the lush green canopy. No trip to El Mirador is complete without a climb to this aerie of the gods - nor a wry contemplation from its summit of the long slog...
...high on Colombian ayahuasca in the early 1960s, described hurling himself against a tree and barfing six times. At a recent ceremony on the outskirts of Bogotá, most of the 40 participants packed sleeping bags, water bottles - and rolls of toilet paper. Sting, in a Rolling Stone interview, made clear that ayahuasca is no party drug. "There's a certain amount of dread attached to taking it," the singer said. "You have a hallucinogenic trip that deals with death and your mortality. So it's quite an ordeal. It's not something you're going to score and have...
