...godlike director Zach (Michael Berresse) and proceed to tell their life stories, you fear (all over again) a procession of formulaic, encounter-group confessionals. And you do get a little of that. But the amazing thing about the show (Bennett's conception, James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante's book, Ed Kleban's smart lyrics) is how seamlessly dance, song and story work together to keep everything alive, emotional and involving. Some of the revelations emerge in neat individual numbers (I Can Do That); others in fuguelike bits and pieces, linked thematically by song (Hello 12, Hello 13). Some numbers revel...
...personal responsibility, and the importance of strong community leaders. The book certainly has its flaws—it sometimes lacks nuance, has no statistical analysis, and is not terribly original—but is still worth reading as long as one remembers that it is just an extended op-ed that anyone could write after having read one of Sowell or Loury’s books...
...early applicants are more likely to be admitted, it does seem to support Harvard President Derek Bok's claim that early admissions "advantage the advantaged."

Consistency and depth carried the day as the Harvard women placed second in both the A and B-divisions to capture the overall title. Sophomore skipper Roberta Steele...
...What calls the phrase to mind is the plight of Robert Redeker, 52, a writer and high school philosophy teacher who has been under police protection and in hiding with his family since the newspaper Le Figaro published his op-ed piece about Islam on Sept.19. Entitled "Faced with Islamist intimidations, what should the free world do?," Redeker's article called the Koran "a book of extraordinary violence" that shows the prophet Mohammad to have been "a pitiless warlord, pillager, massacrer of Jews and polygamist." The very day the piece came out, Redeker started receiving e-mail death threats...
