The Holiday Spirit Matters But So Does What Happens After
'One if by land, two if by sea …': Cambridge marks 250th anniversary of the American Revolution
The famous “One if by land, two if by sea …” phrase from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” refers to a secret signal – lanterns hung in Boston’s Old North Church – that alerted patriots to British troop movements on the eve of revolution. But behind the poetry was a plan, and behind that plan stood Dr. Joseph Warren, a revolutionary organizer who wasn’t about to leave anything to chance.
Harvard’s hosting of international students at risk in Trump administration's targeting of academia

City and universities ‘in lockstep’ against threats to federal funding and Harvard's tax exemption
Following pressure from students, faculty and the greater community, Harvard president Alan Garber issued a strong statement Monday condemning the Donald Trump administration’s threat to freeze up to $9 billion in federal funding. In it he notes that the administration’s move “violates Harvard’s First Amendment rights and exceeds the statutory limits of the government’s authority under Title VI,” the federal prohibition against discrimination.
Protesters call on Harvard to fight Trump threats, defending democracy, its students and its legacy
More than a thousand people gathered on Cambridge Common on Saturday to demand that Harvard stand up to the latest threats coming from the Donald Trump administration.

A small Massachusetts town wrestles with the nation’s immigration crisis
NORFOLK, Mass. — Here was the town where Kevin Roche grew up: empty sidewalks, a coffee shop, a pharmacy, two pizza parlors, two ambulances, two roundabouts and no grocery store. A small, quiet town, people in Norfolk said. Pleasant. Safe. Nothing much to do, and that meant nothing much changed from one morning to the next or the next, until this morning, when Kevin woke up and knew that the town would be different by the time the day was over.
When she left Ukraine, an opera singer made room for a most precious possession
Earlier this year in Khmelnytskyi, western Ukraine, Olha Abakumova, an opera singer, and her husband, Ihor, a tubist, put their then-7-year-old daughter Zlata on a pile of blankets in the bathtub to sleep. If a missile were to strike, the bathroom seemed like the safest place in their ninth-floor apartment. The Khmelnytskyi Philharmonic Orchestra, where they both worked, initially closed after Russia's invasion.
