Lucie is eventually thrown out of the house and lives out the rest of her life in a cottage, making money by smuggling goods during World War II-era rationing. Shortly before her death, she meets an old lover, Jean (William “Hugh” Malone ’08), who also narrates large portions of the play. After her death, Lucie haunts him in a series of events that eventually lead to his own demise...

In Women Don't Ask, Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever inform us that the key to getting a raise is overcoming "personal entitlement issues." And even though Jean Chatzky, an occasional TIME contributor, admits in her book Make Money Not Excuses that fewer than 5% of Americans--women and men in equal measure--are compulsive shoppers, she devotes 25 of the book's 261 pages to making women feel guilty for every nonessential thing they...
