Such unions are awkward, certainly, but most survive through the messy art of compromise. The first line of negotiation is the local bishop, who has the power to interpret the directives. For example, bishops disagree about whether Ovral, an emergency contraceptive drug for rape victims, induces abortion. At St. Louise, staff members will not give Ovral directly to rape victims, but they will allow a separate emergency-response unit to administer the drug on the premises. A similar kind of wiggle room is offered under mergers done according to the "community model." In that case, a Catholic hospital will join...
...shaved that cheesy mustache off your face." Out of ideas about how to deal with us, well-meaning adults herded us into "rap sessions" on the off-chance that we might console ourselves. I spent a good part of my teenage years hoping only to outlive the awkward indignities of adolescence. I prayed for the day when I'd be older--and, please God, taller--so I might assume the full status of a human being endowed by my Creator with certain unalienable rights, not least among these was staying out past 11 and entering bars at will.

Choreographer Colleen Gargan '02, with the exception of a few slightly awkward moments, has done an excellent job putting together a program that fits well with Porter's show, showcasing the rambunctious fun of Anything Goes. So excellent a job, in fact, that it is a little too ambitious for the cast. Anything Goes should be a thrill to dance, but with a cast...
...played humor and a sophisticated intimacy with her unsophisticated character. And while the dancing of John Keefe '01 (Billy Crocker) makes one think Pacey Witter meets Carlton Banks meets a (very) immature Fred Astaire, he has great boyish vocals, and does extremely well with the hilarity of Billy's awkward position...
