...hefty workload—17 courses, including a thesis, if you’re an honors concentrator, and a full 16 for non-honors students. Requirements are spread over a variety of subjects, including politics, economics, chemistry, and math. Since ESPP is relatively new, it has only a few actual concentration courses. All concentrators are required to take ESPP10, “Introduction to Environmental Science and Public Policy,” which features rotating lecturers and case study approaches to five large environmental problems. Some students enjoy the haphazard approach, although many complain that there seems...
...Arts B must include mention of “First Nights: Five Performance Premiers.” Don’t mind the fact that Kelly will at times dance across the Sanders Theatre stage during lecture—we swear that the rest of the course is actually quite good.

...screen - I always think it's breaking news"). O'Hara has the meatiest, or hammiest, role as a has-been diva who by Oscar-nomination time has transformed, or shall we say mutilated, herself into a figure of grotesque glamour. Guest has straight-facedly proposed O'Hara as an actual awards candidate. Which proves that he is the master of an irony so deep, it almost seems unconscious...
