...Sharpie all over your body and tell everyone how smart you are; you are The Crimson (recycling and paper maché also recommended). 12) Buy a Speedo, shave your chest, and call me around 9 p.m...I mean, call yourself a swimmer. 13) Be the “Classic Female Fallback”: wear revealing lingerie, but make it socially acceptable by adding angel wings or bunny ears. 14) Be the “Classic Male Fallback”: wear the “Classic Female Fallback,” but claim you’re doing...
...first official African-American regiments to fight in the Civil War (as depicted in the film “Glory”). Shaw is actually buried in a mass grave near where he was killed at Fort Wagner, South Carolina, but his engraved stone depicts a Classical sparring-match of sorts.

Worse, there is the stench of anti-Washington, know-nothingism to it-as if "your" money...
...theater community will produce several standbys—rather than modern musicals—this fall, which is almost certainly indicative of directorial preference and not risk aversion. This semester, the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club (HRDC) will present three musical productions in the Agassiz Theater (including the revolutionary classic “A Chorus Line”) and one musical in the Loeb Experimental Theater this semester. The show in the Ex, called “Company,” features music and lyrics by the venerable Stephen Sondheim of “West Side Story” fame...
