...evil bastard Don John is a foil to his genial legitimate brother Don Pedro; and these young brothers contrast with the older-generation brothers Antonio and Leonato. Don John's two male attendants (Borachio and Conrade) balance. Hero's female ones (Margaret and Ursula). Claudio and Hero, on one hand, and Beatrice and Benedick, on the other, both find a rocky road to the wedding altar; and the two plots involving these pairs both hinge on deception and credulousness...
There is some variation, of course. Tony Thomas' Messenger is too studied in speech. On the other hand, the best delivery in the whole show comes from William Glover's warm Leonato; so skillful is he that he sounds as though he had spoken nothing but Shakespearean English all his life...
When it happened, I was driving through northern Scotland in a rented car, finding how utterly disorienting it was to work out of the right-hand seat. After a day of laboriously scanning Loch Ness for the Great Orm, I sat down with a British newspaper and a friend to read "Police Arrest 179 at Harvard."

I had often been instructed not to use the word "campus" in connection with Harvard, for Harvard was not supposed to have a campus...
...wandered down to Soldiers' Field with a sandwich and several friends. Replete with a lot of equally idle speech and subsequent applause, the meeting seemed to have been packed by different faction. Down front of me I noticed one notoriously conservative classics teacher sitting all by himself, raising his hand dutifully at every opportunity to vote down the strike or against realizing one of the "demands"--as they were affectionately termed by their sponsors. Here was Athenian democracy minus such frills as property requirements, slavery, and demagogues with anything going for them. The meeting ended up endorsing the least compelling...
...showed a profit of $192,000 for the School. In one sense, the profit is only a paper one, since the charge which the School contributes to, for example, Widener Library, is only an approximation of what the summer use of the library's recourses costs. On the other hand, many of Harvard's overhead expenses--libraries, administration, custodial care, etc.--would go on in the summer even if there were no Summer School. Though Harvard might, in a given year, lose money on the school, it would certainly lose more if there were no Summer School...
