The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d"

The Value of a Humanities Degree: Six Students' Views
Amid the clamor this past year surrounding the crisis in the humanities, the voices of two groups—colleges and professors—have dominated the debate. Some say the humanities are saving students; others say humanities students are wasting their time and money on their degrees. Only occasionally mentioned in those arguments are the students themselves. So what do students have to say? Not much, so far—at least not publicly. Yet they face, on a personal level, the same economic and intellectual questions that colleges are now confronting: As the cost of an undergraduate education soars, does it make sense to invest one’s future in the humanities? Does a humanities degree pay off, one way or another?

Diving, Havana
Photograph by Luca Nizzoli Toetti/Getty Images
“Youngsters beat the heat by diving into the sea along Havana’s waterfront Malecón, a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and socializing. Romantic couples often promenade along its gracefully curving sweep, passing historic homes and modern skyscrapers while enjoying Havana’s intimate relationship with the sea.”

Noam Chomsky on the slogan propaganda “Support The Troops”
Think about what it means to “support the troops” today. The war machine destroys life all across the world and dehumanizes U.S. soldiers.
And a poignant message about the development of American society..
