Bridget P. Haile ’11 hurries toward the dressing room downstairs, her curled hair bobbing and her long white maiden’s dress bustling underneath her. As she walks, she looks like the perfect anachronism, a remnant of another era??she’s completely unconnected to the old Agassiz Theater around her, existing somewhere in between the character she plays and her role in the real world. That is, until she almost bumps into an admissions employee in the hallway. “That’s the problem with sharing a theater with...
...nuances to the teaching of American history may, in fact, provide a fuller analysis of events to the curriculum. For instance, Cold War historians of either political persuasion have long believed that the Venona documents—recordings of Americans who spied for the Soviet Union during the McCarthyism era??deserve mentioning in textbooks.

Sara is a reserved, turtlenecked brunette with closely cropped hair and a voice recorder that never leaves her side. Still shell-shocked from a brutal break-up with Ryan, she conducts these interviews...
...state still subject to “blue laws”—legislative relics of the colonial era??it isn’t surprising that the Puritan vibe carries over to the subway system. Boston and Cambridge bars close by 2 a.m., which leaves seemingly little reason to stay out late. That is, unless you’re 20, and your night doesn’t start until 11:30 p.m. at the earliest. With college campuses smattered from Davis Square to Chestnut Hill to Waltham, there’s ample opportunity for a vibrant, energetic...
