...It’ll just be the three of us!—in the Stephen Sondheim musical “Company.” Directed by Jennifer L. Brown ’07, music-directed by Mark P. Musico ’07, and produced by Kara E. Kaufman ’08, the play tells the story of five couples, three ex-girlfriends and Robert, who is often stuck in the middle—literally...
Stranger Than Fiction” is screenwriter Zach Helm’s first movie, and it shows. Built on quirky narration, sitcom level wit, and self-conscious onscreen visuals, it’s a workmanlike indie-comedy for a mainstream audience.With the success of low-scale Charlie Kaufman meta-films (“Adaptation” comes to mind throughout the movie), it was only a matter of time until someone tried to squeeze out a big-budget film like this.

It's an impressive, perhaps insane, performance: Johnny Knoxville with a sense of humor, Andy Kaufman with a desire to please, Peter Sellers set loose on the public instead of David Niven.

...teams, but rather only entered seven runners in the race as a lead up to next weekend’s Heptagonal Championships. The lead male runner, senior Patrick Baur, came through the line in 26:56—good enough for 111th overall. Following him up were freshmen Brian Kaufman and Stephan Chester, and then junior Haibo Lu. The trio of Harvard runners finished 124 133, and 134 place in times of 27:16, 27:29, and 27:37, respectively. On the women’s side of the Mayor’s Cup, senior Erika Helbling finished in 83rd...
