...Fifteen years ago I killed my sister." Much of Adam Rapp's Nocturne, now playing at the American Repertory Theater, is as stark as this line. The work is essentially a symphony on the theme of these words. The nameless Son is a humdrum high school student when he accidentally runs over his nine year old sister with a car. He is plucked out of obscurity to occupy the foreground of a blood red stage, where he speaks for two hours on the topic of his sister, his family and his dissatisfaction with life in general, interrupted sporadically by dialogue...

Her style is eclectic, her addiction to nicotine wands make smoking look glamorous, and her and her friends' sex lives provide great fodder for her columns. Fifteen Minutes, The Crimson's weekend magazine, best represents the Carrie contingency on campus. They tend to dress a little bit better than the rest of us (at least than the rest of us at the paper), start the trends and be in the know. Carrie's articles would probably be published...
