Gleanings: Harvard, DRM, Slow Reading
On my mind and in the reading queue this week…
- According to the New York Times, Harvard Univeristy is about to appoint its first female president in its nearly 400-year history. The president-elect is Dr. Drew Gilpin Faust, a historian and dean of the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Study.
- Similarly, The Supreme Court’s first female justices have a word or two to say about the role of feminism in their lives.
- Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs calls for the music industry to stop putting Digital Rights Management restrictions on its downloadable music. Depending on how the major labels respond, this could be huge.
- Heard of the slow food movement? How about the slow reading movement?
