...Eyes was superbly done and a worthwhile escape into the world of psychologically dysfunctional relationships. Well-chosen musical accompaniment was indicative of a sophisticated production. The only blemish in an otherwise smooth performance was a minor set fiasco in the last act (in the Saturday night performance) which was dealt with quickly and professionally, although the charming Toder could not completely suppress a slightly out-of-character giggle. She recovered, the set was righted, the play ended and we emerged from the theater sadder, wiser and more secure in our own normality, reluctantly stepping back over the line into...
...perception that Adams has better food than its neighbors; and Dunsterites will point out that their dining hall hasn’t been renovated so far. Here’s a hint for all you professional whiners out there: get over it. Play the cards you’re dealt. Instead of attacking Adams for trying to preserve some semblance of House community, first-years should walk the quarter of a mile to Annenberg or explore what else the Harvard community has to offer in other Houses—you might even be lotteried into one of them...
...never doubted Saddam Hussein's untrustworthiness and willingness to try to dupe the world," he says.

During the contentious negotiations to draft the basic law, Shi'ite members would frequently accept a point, then reopen the issue after hearing from Ayatullah Sistani. Now they were playing the same trick in public as a way to gain maximum leverage. But any attempt to revise the disputed clauses...
Instead of launching vague assaults against editors at the Times, Blair could have quite legitimately dealt with the widely-recognized dearth of black reporters in American newsrooms, including the Times. Of the Old Grey Lady’s 25 political reporters, only one, Lynette Clemetson, is black, and she joined the team this January. And while the Times purports to maintain a finger on the pulse of New York, Brent Staples is the sole black person on its 15-member editorial board. These sorts of numbers would have bolstered Blair’s claims. Instead, he resorts to generalities upon...
