...Grimm are often comically inappropriate for children. The German brothers removed much of the overt sexuality from their retellings of traditional folk tales, but they seemed to have a soft spot for dismembering their younger characters and feeding them to the wolves. This Saturday, Harvard’s Sunken Garden Children’s Theater will bring twisted Grimm humor to audiences of all ages with their performance of “The Three Spinners.” Choosing a Brothers Grimm story for children’s theater is not uncommon, and the tone of this play isn?...

But when Prince William flew a Royal Air Force Chinook helicopter to Kate Middleton's garden earlier this month, he should have known that his romantic gesture wouldn't lead to a fairytale ending. Rather than emerging as the knight in shining armor, William has drawn criticism for his personal use of military craft and reopened a controversy in Britain about his and his brother's privileged role in the armed forces during a time...
