Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged in New York: 30 Years Later
|
April 8, 1994. Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain’s death reverberates a ripple of shock around the world. For a man so reserved, Cobain carried himself with what seemed an unshakable sense of himself; he was everything people wanted to see in a musician and, at the same time, nothing like anyone had ever seen. At the time of his death, he frontmanned the most famous band in the world, but fame seemed antithetical to who he was. Kurt Cobain was famous because he was an outcast, and the world revered him because it saw itself in his music.

MEHLER | The Case for Moving New York State Primaries
|
New York State currently holds its primaries on the last Tuesday of June. I believe moving the primary date would facilitate more civic participation among all age groups, demographics and New Yorkers. New York State will be hosting its primary this year on June 28, 2022. While the primary has been held on the last Tuesday of June for decades, recent internal and external factors present a strong argument for moving our primaries earlier into the year.

Why Urban America Can’t Forget Its Farmers

Why do agricultural issues matter to young cosmopolites attending an Ivy League institution and who quite possibly are from a family in the top one percent? Besides being consistently ranked as one of the top agricultural schools in the country and the world, Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences conducts an enormous amount of research and outreach to help end food insecurity, combat climate change and, most recently, protect food production workers against COVID-19; just check out the litany of innovations here. Cornell is in a unique position to conduct its research; unlike many of its peers, it’s role as a land-grant institution informs its involvement in communities surrounding it. 43 percent of the counties in the Southern Tier are classified as rural. If you include upstate micropolities, such as Corning and Cortland, as semi-rural, that figure jumps to 57 percent.
