Interview: Comics Come Home 30 serves as comedy’s All-Star Game
For 30 years, a venerable cavalcade of comedy’s biggest names have made their way to Boston for one night in the fall to celebrate Comics Come Home.

To the Editor: Bad Ideas About Local Responsibilities Harm Cambridge
The tactlessness with which critics are willing to condemn Cambridge’s divestment vote is on full display in a recent op-ed published in The Crimson. Within a broader argument that Cambridge City Council has no mandate on foreign policy — misguided in its premise, given the city’s own relationships — the author questions the origins of two of its members, Ayah A. Al-Zubi ’23 and Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui.

There’s an ongoing debate among Boston locals and tourists alike: who has the best cannoli in Boston? Mike’s Pastry? Modern Pastry? Bova’s Bakery?
