Whether they are entering a college like Harvard or diving straight into a job, teenagers’ high-school graduations are among the proudest days of their lives. Unfortunately, too many Massachusetts students drop out of high school before reaching this milestone—a sad effect of the state’s policy to mandate education only until age 16. At least 15 states, however, have adopted a minimum dropout age of 18, netting diplomas for a vastly larger population. Massachusetts Governor Deval L. Patrick ’78 recently proposed such an increase here, and we join...

So conservatives should be thrilled they have candidates like McCain, Giuliani and Romney, with proven appeal to Democrats and independents...
...this antagonism. Each “Nu Zébré” is a variation on the simple but very expressive setup of window blinds cracked open just enough to cast thin stripes of light on a female model. The blinds filter the light in long straight lines, but upon the body each line curves, thickens, and thins in its own unique way. In these slyly minimal photographs, Clergue most creatively celebrates the female form, for which the plain rigidity of the inorganic world is a foil.
