Harvard Magazine's Web site keeps alumni abroad in touch

Web-surfing Harvardians and others worldwide now read Harvard Magazine on line. The magazine's Web site, launched last spring, has had visitors from 68 countries, including 142,000 hits from 7,668 different people. Many of those who have logged on are alumni living abroad who are not sent copies of the magazine because of high postage costs. The Web site helps strengthen the University's ties to these far-flung graduates.

The magazine's address is http://www.harvard-magazine.com.

American Repertory Theatre offers new services

The American Repertory Theatre (ART) maintains a Web page that offers online subscription ordering (http://www.amrep.org), one of the few such subscription services in the country. ART customers can also use a new phone system (547-8300) to learn about upcoming productions directly from the people who create them --directors, actors, designers, and artistic staff. Additional recordings are added over the course of the season, providing an increasing level of detail as each show approaches.
