Nothing within this framework of family drama warrants Yellen's use of frequent and distracting mid-scene lighting changes, loud and obtrusive background music (respectably written by Martijn Hostetler '00, who is surely not to blame for the placement of his work) at already obvious emotional high points, and acting that focuses more on the audience and the treatment of the lines than the character within...
...opposes homosexuality, and over the years he has devoted far more energy to saving gays from their supposed sin than to saving them from physical assaults. A typical sampling of Falwell's rhetoric is the July edition of his National Liberty Journal, in which he wrote that we cannot "blame" genetics for "adultery, homosexuality, dishonesty and other character flaws."

Stevens' father did find it a bit ironic that of the three roommates, it was the one from New York who had left...
...Curse of the Bambino means nothing. Despite the deja vu that accompanied the agony of one more missed opportunity for glory, Red Sox fans might actually have somewhere other than Babe Ruth on which to lay at least a portion of the burden of blame this year. From beginning to end, the 1999 post-season has been a showcase for the fallibility of many of the sport's officials, with umpires reaching a new pinnacle of incompetence during the Sox-Yankees series...
