...must thus be cut off by retributive French peasants (“It just didn’t seem fair that some people could afford cornrows while others couldn’t afford corn,” Burkle says). When it is discovered that earnest and long-locked Charles Darnay (Liam R. Martin ’06) comes from an aristocratic stock, he is detained and set to become the latest victim of French peasants fighting for “liberté, egalité, vengeance.” As in Dickens’ novel, Darnay is spared by the sacrifice...
...decapitation could possibly be a suitable theme for children’s theater. Birnbaum, Burkle, and the author of the adaptation, Adam V. Kline ’02, were perfectly aware of this problem and were up for the challenge. Their adaptation features a long-locked and earnest Charles Darnay (Liam R. Martin ’06) whose aristocratic background is brought under the scrutiny of the revolutionary Mr. and Mrs. Defarge (Joshua C. Phillips ’07 and Alison H. Rich ’09). As punishment, his tresses are condemned to meet with...

The author of these epithets: Goetz's own lawyer, Darnay Hoffman, right, pursuing the tactic of insulting one's client before the opposition can. It didn't work: a jury found Goetz liable to the tune of $43 million in the civil lawsuit growing out of his gunning down of four menacing panhandlers in 1984. Other examples of "Don't say that about...
...June, when a bankruptcy trustee will reviews his debts with creditors. "It prevents a sheriff or marshal and New York State from coming in and just simply ransacking Bernie's house, having a public auction out on the street, doing anything that's basically unpredictable," said his lawyer, Darnay Hoffman. Last week, a Bronx jury awarded $43 million to Darrell Cabey, the man paralyzed and brain-damaged in the subway incident. During the civil trial, Cabey's lawyer Ron Kuby urged the jury to take what little money Goetz might have and bankrupt him to guarantee he would never enjoy...
