...council-fund raising to the exclusion of all else. Albert S. Lee '98 emphasized the council's irrelevance to the majority of students, always a safe topic, and proposed ideas slightly off the beaten path, like a bike trail through the Yard. William P. Pyonteck Jr. '00, a brave first-year, touted himself as "a complete outsider" but was soon challenged by Eli W. Bolotin '98, who apparently wanted the title as well. (Bolotin also made the unfortunate mistake, at least in these quarters, of referring to The Crimson as a perhaps unreliable source.) Justin E. Porter '99 came across...
...Said "Ha!", Sweeney's dry-eyed yet wonderfully affecting stage monologue that just opened on Broadway, is not the usual display of wisecracking in the face of tragedy ("How irreverent! How brave!"). For 90 minutes, Sweeney, strolling demurely around a living-room set, simply reminisces about her family, focusing mostly on the last eight months of her brother's life, when he moved into her Los Angeles home so she could nurse him. That she could handle; what she didn't expect was that their parents from Spokane, Washington, would move in as well. The result is a surreal...
...decisions to make, it might be reasonable to expect everyone to take a month off just to map strategy. But this moment of greatest exhaustion collides with the moment of greatest opportunity.

If Clinton and the Congress are going to face any of the hard issues, the reality is they don't have much time...

The narrator in Suicide Alley, a nihilist's jaunty march, shares Sunny's glums: "I wasn't born, I was spat out at a wall...on the corner of First and Insane." In If I Were Brave, Colvin brings the alienation home, to the singer on the stage, "a clown to entertain the happy couples." But these open wounds are swathed in lovely melodies. Colvin may feel isolated in her art, but her CD has the breakthrough goods. She won't be too hip for the big room...
...Inter-Club Graduate Council of the Harvard final clubs took a brave and necessary step this summer by banning beer kegs at all club buildings and restricting club guest policies. In making the clubs more exclusive, the council is rightly returning them to the days when they were "gentlemen's" clubs and, we hope, pushing them into a gentle obscurity thoroughly removed from the Harvard social scene and leading to their eventual disappearance altogether...
