...Although Dobroshi insists that the similarities between her and Lorna are pure coincidence, it is tempting to construct a parallel between the determination with which Lorna chases her dream and the persistence with which Dobroshi has pursued hers. For one thing, the actress and her character share an almost defiant joy of living. There is a scene in the film in which Lorna and her boyfriend dance exuberantly, oblivious to the mess they are in.

...cost 3,500 pounds to design and build, the soldiers must have had a pretty serious party.Today’s Harvard Hall is actually the third Harvard Hall to exist on campus. The original Harvard Hall, completed in 1644, was the first building that Harvard ever commissioned for construction. After thirty years, the building began to rot and was deemed uninhabitable, but the University waited until 1686 to demolish it.
