...surviving saints of the civil rights movement, John Lewis, now a Democratic Congressman from Atlanta, remains most committed to its original creed. Unlike black-power advocate Stokely Carmichael, who ousted him from the leadership of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in 1966, Lewis never abandoned his belief in a utopian "beloved community" in which all men and women are created equal regardless of their race. Unquestioning faith in that idea led Lewis from his family's sharecropper farm in Alabama to the front lines of the battle for racial justice during the 1960s; he never flinched as he suffered arrests...
...effect your stepmother's death has had on your legs." An unexpected entrance by his nymphomaniac wife (Stephanie Smith, '98) leaves the doctor flustered and the secretary undressed. It is soon revealed that Mrs. Prentice herself is similarly unclothed, having been sexually assaulted by (orbeen assaulting?) a bellhop (James Carmichael, '01), who subsequently enters and manages to also become undressed. Bring into the confusion an overzealous Psychiatric Commissioner of the British Parliament ("Dr. Groves", Brendan Greaves, '00) and a doltish Police Sergeant (Will Burke, '99), and soon more than half the cast is running around naked and all are certifiably...
...frustration anddespair. It is wonderful to watch his anguishedlooks of confusion suddenly take coherence as hecomes up with another cockamamie scheme to dighimself out of the hole he is unwittinglyenlarging. Smith's innocent, if somewhatslow-witted naivete plays well against thebackground of madmen into which she is unwittinglydropped.

...different characters, and the ability to make each of them as delightfully absurd as possible. The script itself a tight-laced tango of double entendred and hysterically ironic scenarios, could only be mastered by a group of actor with impeccable comic timing and greaversatility. Particularly notable are Jame A. Carmichael '01 as the dry Lt. Co-Korn; Michael P. Davidson '00 as the stereotypical Italian brother; Mattias Frey '01 as the timid Major Major Matthew E. Johnson '99 as the boomin Col. Cathcart; Ollie M. Lewis '00 as the dying Clevinger; Andrew K. Mandel '00 as the expressive Chaplain...
Thus being black and a young man at Harvard in 1972 was rendered extremely complex. Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) stopped by to recruit a few good revolutionary Black Power warriors. Black Students Association (BSA) meetings were long and often heated. Big "Afro" hair was important and white involvements were often privately and publicly scrutinized. In black communities across the country, Harvard was rumored to have "ruined" many black men. It was said that these promising students had been con- fused about their racial and class identity and were therefore rendered useless to the struggle for black liberation...
