...British national living in the U.S. Upon discovering where I am from, countless Americans reply with "Oh, I'm Irish/Scottish/quarter-English/half - French Canadian," etc. Given that a lot of Americans are proud of their non-American ancestry, why do some people use it as a negative point for Obama?

Meriweather H. Burruss ’11 is on a tight schedule. Not only does she have a french test, ski team practice, and dinner plans with her dad, but she is also part of FM’s Fast Fashion Challenge.

The protesters say the U.N. is not doing enough to protect them from an advancing rebel army. Several U.N. compounds in the city were attacked, said...
...disparaging theories about what he was doing before he died. Hilarity ensued when the scientists, with very thick and believable accents, began arguing their own theories and fighting for the microphone. Sarah T. Christian ’11 deserves special praise for her convincing portrayal of the French scientist.Lloyd-Bollard, as Alice, gave the strongest and most natural performance of the night. She seemed surprisingly comfortable on stage partially nude, and she successfully conveyed the internal battle she faced between piecing together her past and moving on into the future. Still, the plot was extremely confusing at times, and events...
