School committees can succeed at running districts, however, as long they do at least three things: provide extensive political cover for the superintendent; manage the system??s finances effectively; and think creatively, but not intrusively, about curriculum and instructional issues. On these criteria, two of Cambridge’s committee members—Patricia M. Nolan ’80 and Marc C. McGovern—stand head and shoulders above the rest...

But while some might expect Hart’s disclosure to be a farewell message, it instead marked Circulatory System??s revival: recorded in seven studios over almost eight years, the band’s sophomore album—now optimistically-titled “Signal Morning”—would finally see the light of day.To put it mildly, the album does not disappoint...
