| Midnight Drums for Larry
The Harvard Crimson, March 16:
"Voting by secret ballot in a Faculty meeting at the Loeb Drama Center,
218 faculty members affirmed a motion put on the docket by Professor of
Anthropology and of African and African American Studies J. Lorand
Matory ’82, stating that 'the Faculty lacks confidence in the
leadership of Lawrence H. Summers.' "
Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences:Professor
Matory is "a renowned expert on Brazil and on the Yoruba civilization
of West Africa, which is world famous for its religious complexity and
artistic creativity. He is equally noted for his study of such Latin
American religions as Haitian 'Vodu,' Brazilian Candomblé, and Cuban
Santerķa...."  The Harvard Crimson, January 7, 2005: "I came here with the goal of dancing with Larry Summers, and I did it," Chinwe U. Nwosu ’08 said. "He’s a great dancer." "Now I can say that 'Bootylicious' is our song," she added. "Atabaque - a large tom-tom that is used in Afro-Brazilian religious celebrations"

Hold That Thought
nothing - the word had sexual connotations, as a slang word referring to female sexual parts. Compare Hamlet:
HAMLET Lady, shall I lie in your lap?
[Lying down at OPHELIA's feet]
OPHELIA No, my lord.
HAMLET I mean, my head upon your lap?
OPHELIA Ay, my lord.
HAMLET Do you think I meant country matters?
OPHELIA I think nothing, my lord.
HAMLET That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.
OPHELIA What is, my lord?
HAMLET Nothing.
-- Hamlet, III.2
