And already there is talk - and some evidence - that Bolten is reaching out to other...
Presenting a combination of classical and contemporary pieces, the Harvard Ballet Company (HBC) gave a clean and dynamic performance that only improved as their spring show, “Pointe/Counterpointe,” progressed towards its impressive final piece.

Each delivery of clothing went from way station to way station until it finally reached a farmhouse. At around 10 a.m. on April 11, Cortese, belly down in the brush on a hilltop less than a mile away, stared through high...
Rumsfeld was among the first to grasp what others would take months to understand: that threats to America overseas were no longer deterred by tanks, bombers and aircraft carriers. However clean his logic, getting the generals to give up their gadgets was turning out to be much dirtier work. "This is a very large organization," says General Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, "and as with any ship, there's a lot of inertia that won't allow you to turn it 10 degrees. You need energetic people to make that happen." But one man was no match...
