Letters on same-sex marriage, cardiac care, engineering in Allston
Prison Problems As an ACLU policy counsel working to reduce incarceration, I was thrilled to see the profile of Bruce Western’s work on the deep injustices wrought by mass incarceration (“The Prison Problem,” by Elizabeth Gudrais, March-April, page 38). Western is correct that we are living in a “reform moment.” For that reform to succeed, the following facts must be part of the discourse: 1.

The Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library, explored by Adam Kirsch
In 2011, Harvard University Press celebrated the hundredth anniversary of the Loeb Classical Library, the renowned series that presents accessible editions of ancient texts with English translations on the facing page.

Harvard Kennedy School professor explores the emotional toll of losing elections
Partisan loyalty is an important part of personal identity for many Americans, who hold on to their fidelity to true-blue Democrats or deep-red Republicans. A new Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) faculty working paper has found that, as a result, casting a ballot for a losing candidate can have effects that go far beyond intellectual disappointment with resulting policies. Voting, in fact, can be an emotional affair, significantly affecting short-term happiness and sadness.

Headlines from Harvard’s history
1921 In a story that catches national attention, two freshmen propose inserting a huge crossbar between the two chimneys of the Boston Elevated Railway’s powerhouse, near the freshman dorms, forming a giant H—thus transforming an unattractive spot into a beautiful yet effective advertisement for Harvard. “Sweet are the uses of advertisement,” quips the Bulletin.
Harvard’s new Science and Engineering Complex
When Matt Noblett, a partner in the architecture firm Behnisch Architekten, started working on designs for a biomedically focused research facility in Allston in 2007, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences—many of whose faculty members are now moving into an entirely reimagined, spectacular new science and engineering complex on the site—did not even exist.
The third woman to make the “Harvard Law Review” looks back
In the photograph here, taken on an overcast morning in the fall of 1956, you see the smartest Harvard Law School students in a student body of approximately 1,500. Each of these 58 students has been officially recognized by the Law School’s academic grading system as one of the most brilliant members of the entire class, and therefore they will serve as editors of the Harvard Law Review for the academic year.
Edwin Binney, 3rd
Few realize that the sale of Binney & Smith Crayola crayons, those staples of so many childhoods, helped fund one of the largest physical donations of art in the history of Houghton Library’s Harvard Theatre Collection (HTC). The 1986 bequest of 10,000 dance prints from Edwin Binney, 3rd, ’46, Ph.D. ’61, who became the HTC’s honorary curator of ballet, contributed significantly to its becoming one of the largest and most prominent performing-arts collections in the world.
Thai Tastes in Watertown
New England winters seem made for Thai basil. Fiercer than its Italian cousin, this purple-stemmed variety has a slight anise flavor and spicy kick that warms the entire body. It stars in the wide-noodle kee mao and saucy eggplant stir-fry at Watertown’s Cha Yen Thai Cookery, the shoebox-sized restaurant that has been turning diners into devotees since 2014. Why?

The Harvard Art Museums’ world-famous Forbes Pigment Collection, which holds more than 2,700 pigments that have been used in artworks all over the world, is usually inaccessible to visitors. It sits behind glass walls on the fourth floor of the museums’ Renzo Piano-redesigned building, where guests can view it from a distance; the small, bright vials are tightly arranged like scientific specimens in a row of neat gray cabinets.
Income Inequality Is Higher In Democratic Districts Than Republican Ones
The folks at Bloomberg Rankings, drawing on U.S. Census data, have measured the level of inequality—the Gini coefficient—in each of the 435 U.S. congressional districts. It’s a fascinating list (and a map) that reveals all sorts of interesting things.
Harvard soccer star Margaret “Midge” Purce profiled
The Harvard women’s soccer team seized its moment on a Saturday afternoon last November.
