...really enjoyed my preview of retirement life. There's a pool tournament, cabaret night, constant gin rummy games and lots of hanging out with friends in the steam room. I've eaten sliced bagel chips just inches from Soupy Sales and Fyvush Finkel. And I've smelled Buddy Hackett...
Halfway through the first-ever Harvard Cabaret, the lights went up. One by one, poets Eddie Bruce '02, Peter-Charles Bright '01 and Marco Garrido '00 rose in their seats, presenting their offerings for the evening.

...Experimental rock improv band The Magic Number has been seen alongside other bands at various campus venues (including the Advocate, which sponsored the Cabaret along with the Signet Society, the Association of Black Harvard Women and the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters' Alliance), but created one of the most striking pieces of the evening in a unique performance with improvisational dancer Jessica Kaye '00 and poets Janel Moore '00 and Wilson. Improvisation was central to many performances, including breakdancers Tri Phuong '02 and Chhay Chhun '02, the sometimes bewildered and bewildering stand-up comic Anwar Floyd Pruitt...
