The first few weeks of the college football season have shown how even the playing field has become. We have seen historically powerful programs like the University of Notre Dame and Clemson University finding themselves with losing records. Meanwhile, more obscure football schools like the University of North Texas and the United States Naval Academy are in the conversation to be among the top 25 teams nationally. The athletes themselves are also more evenly matched; there aren’t any runaway favorites for the John Heisman award, given to the top player in college football. In recent history, the award has been given almost exclusively to quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers. That trend will seemingly continue this year, although nobody has truly separated themselves from the pack through five weeks of action. Who are the true contenders for the award and what makes this year so different?

This article addresses the question: How should caregivers ethically respond when a person with dementia expresses present preferences that conflict with their past values? In this article, I argue the claim that when caring for people with dementia, one should balance considerations from the past with more weight than considerations from the present. This view draws from the works of Ronald Dworkin and Agnieszka Jaworska. I side more with Dworkin. I claim that even if there is a possibility that people with dementia can form new values, the ability to have an integrated view of one’s life as a whole gives past values more weight than present. My argument for ethically caring for people with dementia follows three guidelines: uphold advance directives, maintain past valued commitments, and allow compromise when past values conflict with current comfort.

Since 1984, Broadway In Boston has been enchanting audiences, touring many Tony Award winning shows in some of Boston’s oldest and most acclaimed theaters. The 2025-26 season is no different, with this fall’s show being the historical “Hamilton.” Written by and starring Lin-Manuel Miranda, “Hamilton” has become a cultural phenomenon within the theater sphere. Broadway In Boston’s adaptation of this one-of-a-kind, historical musical not only pays homage to the original, but brings its own creative flair to the show.

When I think of aluminum, I picture chutney sandwiches wrapped in a delightfully crunchy silver foil that came with the added benefit of being squishable into balls that made recess more fun. Or, I hear the pop of soda cans opening before a big game and the clink of a spoon against a thermos while camping. What doesn’t come to mind at all are the vast, rust-colored lakes of industrial waste left behind during our utilitarian friend’s production, a substance known as red mud.
