...film and promptly gets rolled by her in contract negotiations, is as sharp and modulated a satire of Hollywood hucksterism as anything this side of David Mamet. Unfortunately, the play doesn't quite know where to go after that. The focus shifts to Sheena's surly, pill-popping, wheelchair-bound mother, who is outraged (not very credibly) at her daughter's job on feminist grounds and vows to stop the production. Not a bad idea - turning Mom into a real-life counterpart of a horror-film stalker - but her character (at least in Lusia Strus's over-the-top performance...
...engaging with the world whether you like it or not. Simply to enjoy a book you have to translate the words on the page into a world of your own.

Last summer the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, which favors tougher enforcement of immigration laws, released a report with the somewhat triumphal title "Homeward Bound." Its authors argued that census data showed that approximately 1.3 million illegal immigrants had left the U.S. from August 2007 to May 2008. At that rate, their number would be halved in five years. Because the drop-off predated the worst of the recession, the report argued, the decline showed that...
BROCKTON, Mass.—This weekend saw the Harvard baseball team emerge on the friendly end of a few slugfests, but its good luck—and its success at the plate—was bound to run out sometime.Crimson pitching continued its trend of giving up runs in bunches, and Harvard underwent a 16-5 thumping at the hands of Northeastern (15-10, 4-2 CAA) in the first round of the Beanpot Tournament at Campanelli Stadium yesterday afternoon.The loss means that Harvard (7-19, 5-3 Ivy) will play in the consolation game of the Beanpot Tournament...
