...Petrus, who in the old days of apartheid would have been called boy even as a middle aged man and relegated to the ranks of simple farmhands, is the farms co-proprietor and a man of substance in the local black community. Lurie is unsure how to relate to Petrus: at first he seems determined to like him, the politically correct thing to do in the situation. But a shockingly violent incident involving Lucy changes everything. Suddenly Lurie is doubly disgracedfor his failure as a father to help his own daughter and for his abuse of the child-like student...
...wish I could say that the actors did as best they could with the undeveloped material they were given. Unfortunately, they seemed to exacerbate the situation.

Burton '01 made the key point that "the UC is invisible" to the campus. Indeed, Burton's recent dismissal from the council for lack of attendance can now clearly be disregarded as blatant, unfair discrimination. The council's invisibility understandably prevented Burton, who may also suffer from poor vision, from finding his way to the meeting. In his quest to "make [the council] visible," Burton can help not only the huge number of myopic students at Harvard, but himself...
