...ostensibly typical married couple raising their teenage daughter Susanna (Tali B. Friedman ’10) in blissful ignorance of the bizarre tragedy that will soon threaten their familial ties. This semblance of peace is soon disturbed by the emergence of Mr. William Hard (Jack C. Cutmore-Scott ’10), an enigmatic foreigner dressed all in black who confronts the family with an extraordinary circumstance. While Hard’s literal mission is obvious—to inform Ray that he is a “duplicate” and must be replaced—his primary objective...
...sermon series on the theme of secrets. The idea, says Smith, "was not so much theological as psychological"--a way to aid people carrying the shame of long-held secrets. For at least two of his congregants, the effort was transformative. A former prison guard--let's call him Jack--had been unfaithful to his wife and says he was feeling "crushed" by guilt.

After all, Gore was roommates with Tommy Lee Jones ’69 at Harvard, and Jones...
...closing scenes of Jean-Luc Godard’s “Le Mépris,” Camille—played by the iconic sixties starlet Brigitte Bardot—abandons her husband for the narcissistic, almost ghoulish American film producer Jeremy Prokosch, played by Jack Palance. Bardot, in a wide-brimmed hat and large black sunglasses that recall Jackie Kennedy, displays a cold yet alluring ambivalence toward her piggish new lover. They exchange brief words, casual affections, but barely understand one another—Bardot’s character speaks no English, Palance’s hardly...
