This is a travesty. What is Harvard's excuse for failing to provide its students with cable, a bare necessity of life? Is it that having cable in dorm rooms would take away "quality studying" time...

"A lot of the playgrounds we grew up on were really kind of instruments of torture," says Kathryn Dresslar, a legislative aide who helped bring about new California regulations.

He lovingly traces down her slender figure, caressing her bare feet as they touch the pedals, thus turning her playing into a corporeally total experience, rather than a nexus between limbs and the mind. Alternately, when not gliding around the performers, Trueba breaks his musicians down into their component parts, focusing on agile fingers and tapping nimble feet. He savors...
