A Harvard professor once called him “mischievous.” A New York Times critic described him as “insidiously satisfying.” And one Jesuit Priest tagged him “a pig trampling in a sanctuary.”He included that last epithet in his Yale School of Drama application, and he got in. It wasn’t the first time that controversy powered this year’s Harvard Arts Medal recipient?...
