...creation of the new Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (we’ll call it SEAS) reflects this chaotic legacy. With characteristic indecision, the school will be the only separate school within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), yet its undergraduate admissions policies and administrative operations will remain under FAS control. It is, in effect, a department in all but name...
While there were some killings--four of Mobutu's generals were reportedly murdered by their own men--the chaotic looting and mayhem that many had feared never occurred. Speaking from his headquarters at Lubumbashi, Kabila, 56, said he would "assume from now the functions of the head of state." He added, "I am happy, very happy to succeed."

...enjoy the long-winded bouts of Aristophanes. Perfectly deserving of his lead role, Chase-Levenson was a riot and every inch the conniving, enterprising Athenian—smirking as he stalked around in his Greek sandals, fantasizing about the perks of power. The few fleeting dance scenes were more chaotic than choreographed, but they oddly fit the image of a city of fluttering birds. And although not spectacular, the set (designed by Katherine E.M. Hudson of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences) and costumes (designed by Alexis M. Kusy ’07) were a commendable amateur attempt that...
