...meeting with Ryan McGee '98 and Sara D. Newbold '00, authors of So Many Shades of Blue, a new production which will be running through October 24 at the Kronauer Space in Adams House. The play focuses on the episodic memories of a relationship between characters played by Christian P. Roulleau '01 and Karin J. Alexander '02. McGee, Newbold and Alexander were on hand to discuss specifics of the writing process--replete with revisions and re-revisions--as well as the general state of student-written theatre in the greater college community...
...Yeah, I think it's been very interesting for Christian [Roulleau] and I to see how what we have done affects Sara and Ryan. It's quite wonderful at the end of an evening to have them come and say to us, "That was well done," because it's their work. And yet, we've brought a different dimension to it.

The document defends Pius in both its body and a spirited footnote; the refusal to acknowledge his faults, critics claim, made the whole enterprise of repentance extremely difficult...
...used to shuffle around the streets of his city nibbling on crusts of bread and seeking alms for the building of the Sagrada Famolia. He hated liberalism and was devoted to everything most penitential and reactionary in Spanish Catholicism. He was gloomy, short-fused, arrogant--the Christian virtue of humility was never his forte--and so misogynistic that he never married and probably died a virgin. Of course, such traits have never disqualified anyone from sainthood, and nobody would doubt that Gaudi was in a general way a more saintly character than, say, Frank Lloyd Wright or Philip Johnson...
