...together. When I visited Harvard during my senior year, I had thought the Yard was the sum of the College, so I was shocked to discover those Georgian acres by the River. The Eliot courtyard was a second shock. The grass was pristine and emerald after a summer of crisp maintenance, and the trees were thick with late summer. I was overcome by the primary colors of Harvard--green grass, red brick, white mortar and trim, blue river through the iron gates. Upperclassmen lay quietly on the lawn talking or reading books, a social world apart from the forced friendliness...
...Visionaries," says TV analyst Josh Bernoff of Forrester Research, "think about what is possible without thinking about what will actually make good business." Say you were descrying the future TV of 2000, 20 years ago. You might have predicted a remarkable, crisp, high-tech TV display. You might have called it, say, "HDTV." And you would have been right.

(Because of copyright hassles, most Clear Type books won't arrive until the end of the year. In the meantime, feast your eyes on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, which are provided free with your machine, courtesy of Microsoft...
...plot, awkwardly stumbling over a few After School Special messages. Thankfully, though, director Eric Engel (Director of Memorial Hall/Sanders Theatre) still manages to blend Lucas' words into an (almost) seamless narrative journey to the dark side of greed, jealousy and betrayal. A combination of smooth technical savvy, crisp staging and two wonderfully nuanced performances (Lyman and Lopez) creates a freeway of sinful compromise where innocence is only a speed bump. Crass, powerful, aggressive Jeffrey is a perfect match for Elaine's subtle intelligence, creativity and inner isolation. Whenever the struggling couple appear on stage-separated or together-the audience...
