Peter Bendix takes Tufts education with him to the big leagues
(10/15/25 4:03am)
Tufts alumnus Peter Bendix (LA’08) does not have a fixed job description. As the president of baseball operations for MLB’s Miami Marlins, Bendix’s work spans across the organization and involves numerous aspects of the team, from player development to creating a successful culture within the clubhouse.
The Bigger Picture: Let Maggie Cheung tell you about wealth and identity
(10/16/25 6:01am)
On my flight back to Boston from Hong Kong, I watched “Comrades: Almost a Love Story” (1996), a Hong Kong film directed by Peter Chan and starring Leon Lai and Maggie Cheung — the perfect ending to my summer. The bittersweet emotions this romantic melodrama evoked quickly earned it a place at the top of my list of Hong Kong classics, despite its poorly translated English title. The original Chinese name, “Tian Mi Mi,” literally means “Sweet Honey,” a far better description of the film’s tender yet heartbreaking tone.

Tufts Public Safety to offer civilian response training for active shooter scenarios: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
A Trevor Lawrence audit: a large contract and large promises?
(10/14/25 4:01am)
In 2024, the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawerence was handed one of the most lucrative contracts in NFL history at the time: five years and $275 million. Yet, one year after inking the deal, both the Jaguars’ head coach and general manager were fired following the 2024–25 season. It turns out that giving your 25-year-old quarterback — who has only had one year of above-average play — a record-breaking contract while he’s coming off a season in which his passer rating dipped by seven points leaves your team with one of the worst records in the league and a quarterback still in decline. So naturally, the question arises: Does Lawerence deserve his contract? The answer is yes — but only if you can’t find a better or cheaper equivalent.

Josh Johnson is redefining comedy for a divided era

Comedy isn’t always easy to laugh about these days.
Bugonia’ holds a cracked mirror to the absurdity of contemporary America
(10/14/25 4:03am)
A new cinematic canon may very well be emerging. Films like “One Battle After Another,” “Civil War” and “Eddington” have all painted unique yet not dissimilar portraits of a discordant, extremism-prone America — a vision that seems increasingly resonant under Donald Trump’s second term. Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Bugonia,” a paranoid pressure cooker of a thriller that’s as weird as any of the Greek director’s previous works, is yet another film that shares this vision.
The MBTA must crack down on fare evasion
(10/14/25 4:01am)
In September, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, responsible for Boston’s public transit network, announced they would be cracking down on fare evasion — the practice of traveling on public transit without paying. This move comes after the MBTA has already lost tens of millions of dollars from unpaid fares. According to a 2021 MBTA analysis, the system lost between $5 million and $6 million in annual revenue from unpaid fares on subways, trolleys and buses. Including the commuter rail, the MBTA lost an additional $10–20 million each year. When an NBC investigative team scoped out several Green Line stations near Boston University, they found that almost every passenger boarded the train without paying.

Fifth-year students at Tufts balance freedom and limitations
(10/21/25 4:01am)
There’s much splendor surrounding graduation: the glitz and glamor of the senior gala, the intimate community bonding at the baccalaureate and, of course, the proud walk across the stage to receive one’s hard-earned diploma. Fifth-year students at Tufts have the opportunity to attend most of these events alongside their classmates. Unlike their peers, however, they also carry the knowledge that they will return to campus next year, while most of their friends enter a new stage of life.
Through Indigenous Eyes: Tribe-run tourism
(10/10/25 4:01am)
After spending our first night with a family member in Las Vegas, my mom and I hit the first destination on our road trip: the Grand Canyon. A bucket-list item for both of us, we decided to make the most of the drive. Along the way we stopped at cool sites such as the Glen Canyon Dam and Wahweap (where I even got to touch the Colorado River!). But by far the standout of these stops was Upper Antelope Canyon.
