...explore serious contemporary social issues: urban slums, race prejudice, the scourge (ah, the '50s!) of "juvenile delinquency." It was also a groundbreaking marriage of pop entertainment and "high culture": choreography that featured classical ballet moves, a score with elements of modernist art music, and a story whose tragic arc was as close to grand opera as the American musical had come.

Intermission: A couple of halftime stats. Christine Matera leads all scorers with nine points, all of which came off the three-ball. St. John's Da'Shena Stevens is a beast on the boards, pulling down six so far. Both teams are at 50% from behind the arc, and both are around 40% from the field. Free throws haven't been falling for anyone. Harvard is 2-6 and St. John's is 0-2. Emily Tay has been her baller self, but she's giving the rock up too much (five turnovers). Berry is 2-2 from the field...

...clear that the usual diplomatic arc with Pyongyang - public fits intended to strengthen its bargaining position for an eventual return to the table - is in play right now. If in the next few weeks the North launches what it terms a "satellite intended for peaceful purposes" - in truth, a long-range missile capable of reaching Alaska - it will be the North's most provocative act since it tested a nuke in the autumn of 2006. Bosworth and, earlier, his boss, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have already beseeched the Chinese to intervene with the North, and diplomats in Seoul...
