...Putting It Together” is the musical theater equivalent of Frankenstein??s monster. Just as Igor was dispatched to gather brains, arms, and legs from graves, so too does writer Stephen Sondheim pull together parts of other works to form a completely new whole. Opening tonight in the Loeb Experimental Theater, this revue of Sondheim’s work aptly combines songs from disparate musicals to form a “Reader’s Digest” of his oeuvre. For the director and cast, it’s simultaneously a simple, bountiful musical buffet...
...that Gonzalez should have apologized for was confusing Pat Tillman with “Pat Tillman,” the creature constructed by the U.S. Army out of dead men’s flesh like Frankenstein??s monster. “Pat Tillman” was a “caricature,” as Tillman’s mother Mary put it, as unfamiliar to her as the square-jawed photograph broadcast to the nation by the military after Tillman’s death, a portrait that Mary had never seen before and that Pat said...

The spill occurred, according to Dean Smith, in an area that is not used by students, faculty, or staff. An uninhabited area. But how could there be? Is there such...
However, as I think about the ways in which Facebook has revolutionized the college experience, I can’t help but wonder if this toddler-aged creation is a modern-day version of Frankenstein??s monster. Mary Shelley’s cautionary tale about scientific experimentation gone awry may appear to be incompatible with Zuckerberg’s baby, but I’m realizing the real postmodern Prometheus is now a top-ten global website with repercussions far greater than drunken pokes...
