...hustle and bustle of lavishly-dressed Christmas guests making their way to the Silberhaus home, and there is the same wind-up Harlequin and Columbine—an almost eerily perfect Melissa Hough, whose triple pirouettes, wide unblinking eyes, and general look of tart, wooden sweetness was even more ideal than that of an actual porcelain doll. Rather than a toy soldier, though, Nissinen gives a virtuoso turn to a life-size bear danced brilliantly by Paul Craig in a costume that seemed impossibly restricting until he whipped out several 180-degree split saut de chats.

...Robert Owens ’09, who applied to several Ph.D. programs in intellectual history, said that if he is accepted to one of his ideal graduate schools, he would not be deterred by a reduced financial aid package. He added that if the acceptance letters don’t arrive, he might spend a year or two as a high school teacher or a librarian...

Founded five years ago by tea-shop owner Wu Cheng-hsueh, 85°C now has 325 stores in Taiwan and is expanding into China, Australia and the U.S. Wu first built the business by finding good beans: in 2004, he went to the source of Starbucks' most popular beans and persuaded the Guatemalan supplier to sell him virtually all its arabicas (sorry, megachain). Then he hired...
