The actor’s emotional attachment to the island was obvious at the reception following the screening. “I would change everything about who I am to live in a free Cuba,” he told the crowd, holding back tears. In an introduction to the screening, Garcia called “The Lost City,” which chronicles a well-to-do family divided over the Cuban Revolution, his “most important work.” Garcia found little support among Hollywood producers...
Tina Stone, 41, knows how to crack a nut - and the hushed crowd gathered on the village green respects that.

Friday’s event, advertised as a “presentation” to students over e-mail lists, featured a series of brief appearances by singer-songwriter Spektor before a crowd of students eager to hear her perform at the Lampoon, a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine. At 8:15 p.m., two hours after she had been scheduled to appear, Spektor emerged from the Lampoon Castle, riding down the street with...
