Opinion
On World AIDS Week at HMS
Jennifer Lewey
A few years ago I discovered Hendrik Hertzberg's book, One Million,
in which the former editor of the New Yorker magazine attempts to
convey the magnitude of a million. Taking one of the most overused and
underappreciated numbers in colloquial expressions, the book consists of one
million dots-5,000 tiny black points on 200 hundred pages. Perhaps
Hertzberg didn't do much authoring on the matter, but he equated randomly
numbered dots with equally random facts and statistics...
Dear Student
Nurturing Women Researchers at HMS
Dr. D. Anderson
In the right environment, there is no better career than medical research:
working on challenging problems with creative energetic colleagues to make

that HMS and its hospitals can continue to provide an environment that
nurtures the careers and altruistic spirit of its new generation of women
clinical researchers...

Calvin Hennig
Remember burning leaves in autumn? What a great smell. It always seemed to
go with crisp apples. Popcorn is in there somewhere, too. Then there were
leaf forts across the street in Miller Park...
Fresh Cut
Mystic River
Kit Lo
Mystic River represents Clint Eastwood's latest foray in
moviemaking, the first since Midnight in the Garden of Good and
Evil (1997) in which he does not also star. The result is a tight,
compelling murder mystery that plumbs the depths of the human response to
tragedy, that spares no one in its examination of choice, action, and
consequence...
