...outstanding, but there were enough good and very good actors to constitute a strong ensemble. Joseph P. Fishman ’05, in the minor and unenviable role of the sensible old Lord Lafew, brings out all the humor of his part. His insulting, impudent exchanges with the cowardly braggart Parolles (Joseph H.

A string of emails in which he raised all these issues--and which were obtained by reporters last week--are "baseless...
...which he is the founder and president. Among his favorite Scrabble moments was a victory over a master who started the match with the word ingesta (definition: “that which is introduced into the body by the stomach or alimentary canal”). However, Thomas is no braggart. “Most of my memories are about getting burned at the last second,” he says...
