When Andrew's wife Hayley Wolff Kissel filed for divorce in February 2005, she found herself among an assortment of creditors vying for the couple's assets. She charged in court papers that her husband shielded $111,000 from the sale of his classic-car collection (which included a $420,000 1957 Mercedes) by requesting that the checks be cut to a former employee. Obtaining her share of the couple's assets "has been time-consuming, expensive, and frustrating," Hayley Kissel said in a motion filed a few weeks ago. Authorities had confined Andrew to the couple's home...
...Pierre, who volunteers to supervise after-school detention for the high-schoolers (the real Dulaine taught grammar-school kids), has a steely will to match theirs. He will teach them the seven classic ballroom dances: waltz, Viennese waltz, fox trot, swing, tango, rumba and meringay. And if they dedicate themselves to it, they can compete in the city-wide dance-off at the end of the term. One kids sneers: "Music is corny. There's no feeling."

And they are catching tweens at maybe the last age when they might acknowledge - in their secret, not-yet-stereotyped hearts - that they they still have something to learn...
...logo from the scurrilous paper published last week by Kennedy School of Government Dean Stephen M. Walt and Professor John J. Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago. I find it insufficient that the most prominent educational institution in the world added a more prominent disclaimer stating that the classic racist views expressed in that work belong only to the authors. I call on Harvard—take that paper off your server and issue an apology to all persons of learning and conscience. TZVEE ZAHAVY Teaneck, N.J. April...
Jess R. Burkle ’06 was working for a production in France last summer when he stumbled upon the inspiration for his senior thesis in an Avignon bookstore. The Harvard theater veteran fell in love with “Knock,” a classic French comedy by Jules Romain, upon first reading. The play follows the rise to power of the villainous Dr. Knock against the backdrop of medical hysteria in a small French town.Surprised by its lack of renown in the United States, he set about researching its history and adapting the script for American viewers...
