...bigger things that have Dreher worried tonight. Just a few blocks away, a neighbor spotted a gun being passed to two white males in a Chrysler Le Baron. Though there's nothing to link the incident to Webster Groves High, he's scouring the parking...
...keynote speaker was former Labor Secretary Robert Reich; Harvard welcomed Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan to speak to alums and graduates. The two men have very different views of the economy. In his memoir, Reich imagined that a frank exchange would involve his assailing Greenspan as a "robber-baron pimp" and the central banker's calling him a "Bolshevik dwarf...
...pays attention, he jokes about his "Austin Powers teeth," he gives the term self-deprecating a whole new meaning. People forget, for instance, that before Four Weddings, he appeared in a string of what he calls "Europuddings"--but Grant is delighted to remind us.

As the play opens, his one-time paramour Matilda (Karin Alexander '02) comes to visit "Henry" in his grotesquely medieval living-space. She brings her friend Baron Belcredi (Tom Price '02), her daughter Frida (Marianne Cook '02) and a psychiatrist (Matthew Carlson) who intends to study "Henry" and attempt to cure him. Matilda and Belcredi explain the scenario to the doctor and to us before entering Henry's masquerade along with the madman's attendants (Luvh Rakhe...
