...sort of aspersion at our hallowed halls this past weekend, however: the neutrality of the article about Harvard was disputed. We aren’t by any means the first or the only article to be given this distinction. The ability to question the even-handedness of Wikipedia content is an important peer review mechanism built into the site as a check against would be ne’er-do-wells. But most of the disputed articles are about well-known hot topics: Creationism or the Palestinian National Liberation Movement or whatever. Harvard, one would think, might generate...

Jacob Krause with music direction by Aram N. Demirjian ’08, and the strong cast performances. In particular, Kaawaloa portrays Richard as a caricature of a swaggering sailor—wonderfully drunk and obnoxious but generally good-hearted. Also noteworthy is Mad Margaret, love interest of Robin’s brother, played by Jessica G. Peritz ’06 with a mixture giddiness, attention-deficit disorder...
