Silicon Valley vs. Boston: Is one friendlier to women? - The Boston Globe

Silicon Valley vs. Boston: Is one friendlier to women? - The Boston Globe

Boston Globe — BOSTON'S STARTUP COMMUNITY has long resided in the shadows of Silicon Valley, which lays claim to the most venture capital investments, bigger IPOs, more tech-sector jobs, and, sure, even better weather. But a bold idea is taking shape: Could the Boston area become the more hospitable alternative to the Silicon Valley goliath, an innovation hub that supports women, values diversity, and champions work-life balance?

Winklevoss Twins Aren't the Only Family Team Rowing in the Same Direction

Winklevoss Twins Aren't the Only Family Team Rowing in the Same Direction

boston.com — Lynn Osborn and her 17-year-old son Nicholas, of Belmont, have always shared a birthday. This year, they'll also be sharing a boat at the 50th Head of the Charles Regatta. Mother and son are rowing together in a doubles boat as part of the regatta's Parent/Child Director's Challenge race, a special charity event that raises money for the Head of the Charles Endowment. The significance of competing in the 50th anniversary of what is widely considered to be one of rowing’s most famous annual events, with around 11,000 competitors and an estimated 400,000 spectators, is not lost on the Osborns. But for them, as for so many other local parents racing with their children, rowing is first and foremost a family affair.

Faust Vetoes Tenure Decision

Faust Vetoes Tenure Decision

thecrimson.com — With word that University President Drew G. Faust vetoed the appointment of the distinguished Berkeley economist Christina D. Romer, economics professors at Harvard and Berkeley expressed a combination of bewilderment and disappointment in interviews yesterday. The economics department had voted to extend a tenure offer to Romer, while her husband, David, was slated to take a position at the Kennedy School of Government. But in an interview yesterday, David H. Romer, a Berkeley macroeconomist who specializes in monetary policy, said that he would not be taking the tenured position that he was offered at the Kennedy School, and that he and his wife would remain at Berkeley.

Havoc in Mao's Heaven - Harvard University Press Blog

Havoc in Mao's Heaven - Harvard University Press Blog

harvardpress.typepad.com — When the Chinese Cultural Revolution began in 1966 as a "revolution from above," the relationships between Mao and those who responded to his call were highly fragile, and political messages were interpreted in different ways by different agents. In responding to contradictory central policies, grassroots activists also responded to their own socioeconomic and political circumstances, and the forces unleashed by Mao often took on lives of their own. As Yiching Wu shows in The Cultural Revolution at the Margins, new this month, the disorder caused by mass activism from below and power conflicts and paralysis at the top created a genuine political crisis, the suppression of which became the starting point for a series of measures that eventually led to the momentous changes in Chinese politics and society a decade later.

Last Words from Montmartre

Last Words from Montmartre

harvardreview.fas.harvard.edu — The last words in Last Words from Montmartre, a posthumous, semi-autobiographical novel by Taiwanese writer Qiu Miaojin, are not the author's own. They belong to Greek director Theo Angelopoulos, from his film The Suspended Step of the Stork: I wish you happiness and health but I cannot complete your journey I am a visitor. Everything I touch causes me real suffering and does not belong to me. There is always someone who says: This is mine. Angelopoulos' lines are provided to us first in French, then Chinese, then English, as part of a final chapter entitled "Witness." Shuffling between three countries, multiple lovers, emotional states, time periods, and even prose styles, the nameless narrator of Last Words from Montmartre searches for an outlet for her overwhelming passionate love, recently spurned. Heartbreak, she finds, is a liminal state. So too is love. And for her, so is life.
