Students from the Third World who come here to study often complain that very few of the courses offered here have any relevance to their lives at home. Okonjo points out that in her concentration, Economics, there is a grand total of one course on developing Africa, and that isn't even being offered this year. Nimgade says it is only since she came here and faced Harvard's lack of concern for Third World problems that she really began to feel she came from a less-developed country. It's understandable that the curriculum is geared to American needs...

...seat Lyttelton, where the company will make its debut, is a traditional proscenium arch house with the subdued intimacy of a room one might associate with chamber music. No ticket holder can complain about his point of vantage. The raked, beige, tufted seats offer sight lines of geometric clarity. It is as if the air had been filtered for purer vision. The particular largesse of the Lyttelton is a side stage sealed off from the main stage by a soundproof door. A visiting company from the provinces or abroad-and Hall intends to invite them -can mount...
