What led Summers to cast himself as an arts aficionado? Freshman Parents’ Weekend, of course. This sold-out show was teeming with parents, their unwilling first-years in tow—during the first act, that is. The benches were notably less crowded after intermission...

And last November three of Texas winemaker Becker Vineyard's products made Wine Spectator's list of the top 12 U.S. regional wines...
