Brodsky ’06) make a well-balanced couple, with Lenin as a charismatic, harsh idealist and Nadya as an even harsher pragmatist. Cecily (Joanna N. Leeds ’04) and Gwendolen (Andrea V. Halpern ’07) are, despite their cheerfulness, among the most serious characters in the play, which they well display in a polite dialogue that turns into veiled viciousness, complete with slightly-too-hard friendly pats...

De la Garza, who led the team that put together the landmark Latino National Political Survey more than a decade ago, was harsher. Huntington's article, he said, would not have been published "if it were written by a minority - it's that inadequate and weak, from a scholarly perspective." Huntington makes no reference to the finding in the Latino survey that although 92% of Anglos expressed an "extremely strong" or "very strong" love...
