...agree "the demise of self-segregation should be lauded, not lamented." But there is something to be said about seeing faces on campus that are the same color as mine. Although only one of my closest friends is Asian American, I took comfort in seeing many Asian faces every day at Harvard. Now that I am at a law school where the Asian American population is significantly smaller, I feel less comfortable, even though I have never enveloped myself in an Asian American community...
...Here's another color for you: Red, as in ink, which is what Apple had been spilling in the years before interim CEO/messiah Steve Jobs returned to the orchard. Now he has a bumper crop: Apple announced it has sold more than 800,000 iMacs in the computer's first five months.

But Martin McDonough's extraordinary play, about a mother and daughter testing each other's patience in a bleak corner of rural Ireland, gradually displays an imposing arsenal of playwrighting weapons: a well-made plot that keeps bending in unexpected ways; flashes of sardonic comedy; and a sense of tragic inevitability that Ibsen himself might have admired. Flawlessly performed by the original London cast (three of the four won Tonys...
