...course, is at the heart of the matter. Surely the Internet could be put to darker purposes. We may not live at the end of history, but we live in a country, and increasingly a world, where the large preoccupations of earlier generations have been resolved. We need no longer worry about subsistence, about food and shelter. For centuries philosophers have contemplated just this moment and wondered what would come next. For a very large number of people, it appears the answer is, eBay comes next...
Right from the start, Glengarry presents some difficult challenges. Ruiz, known for his cleverly farcical, physical style of comedic direction in productions such as The Misanthrope and How the Other Half Loves, confronted and solved the problem of how to find subtler, darker and more naturalistic ways of presenting his characters. As Dave Moss, Christian Roulleau '01 is proof of Ruiz's success. He appears to have mastered the naturalistic intonations and body language called for by Glengarry.

While Rose's candor about wanting the big bucks is admirable and polls have shown that the majority of fans want Pete in the Hall, he's had an almost pathological resistance to acknowledging the darker parts of his history.

Other predictable songs are here, such as "I Can't Dance" and "ABACAB," the latter whose introductory guitar riff is familiar, even if you didn't know from which track it came. "Jesus He Knows Me," an ironic single about evangelism and the cult of religion...
...Skepticism was finally assuaged after then Harvard President Nathan Pusey '?? visited Rothko. A keen-minded Yale dropout, Rothko facilely picked up on Pusey's religious interests and proceeded to affix the Passion of Jesus to the murals--the darker ochres of Panels #1-3 (the triptych) were the colors of Good Friday and the Last Supper, while the brighter magenta pink of Panel #5 was representative of the Resurrection. Pusey, thoroughly impressed by Rothko's analysis and enthusiasm, advised the Corporation to vote for the murals' installment...
