While one Kennedy corresponded with Kruschev in the fall of 1962, another one ran for his first term in the U.S. Senate Edward M. Kennedy '54 participated in an all-Harvard campaign against Republican George Cabot Lodge '50 and Independent H. Stuart Hughes, a professor of History. The seat went to the President's brother in a runaway, but the Hughes crusade, which focused on the scholar's leftist international politics aroused substantial interest on campus during the missile crisis...
...Delacroix's admirers. Fantin-Latour then judiciously posed them beside a portrait of the great French Romantic painter. The composition is as simple as the relationships. Soyer, on the other hand, chose a much more difficult situation to compose. He selected ten realist artists for his Homage, including Edward Hopper, Jack Levine, Leonard Baskin, Reginald Marsh and himself. Also portrayed was Soyer's twin brother Moses, a lesser-known painter who died in 1974. Most of these men had little or no connection with the long-dead artist being honored.

As Edward Jay Epstein points out in his book The Rise and Fall of Diamonds: the Shattering of a Brilliant Illusion, which was published last May, the percentage of Japanese brides with diamond engagement rings has increased from less than 5% to 60% in just 13 years...
...Director Edward Stone has set a frenetic pace that jams to a halt, like traffic in a rush-hour gridlock, whenever the entire eight-actor ensemble crowds onto the stage. The performances, though a bit broad for so intimate a space, are clever: Mara Beckerman is just irksome enough as the naive heroine, Alan Brasington swishily grand as her abductor, and Merle Louise, Polly Pen and especially Emcee Michael McCormick polished and persuasive as show-must-go-on troupers. The music hall genre may be dead, but Charlotte Sweet is an amiable, spirited resurrection...
