...authors of “Oxford Blues” (oped, Feb. 26) lament the fact that Oxford is not Harvard, but to me that contrast is one of Oxford’s key selling points. I loved my time at Harvard, and I also had a wonderful time at Oxford, but the two experiences could not have been more different. At Harvard, I was an over-scheduled joint concentrator, varsity athlete and extracurricular participant. My days would start with a 9 a.m. class and end with an 11 p.m. club meeting, with classes, sports practice, and a lunch meeting...
...With music by Hugh Masekela, a cast that includes some of South Africa's leading actors and a script that uses verbatim testimonies from the two years of hearings that began in April 1996, Truth in Translation is innovative, surprisingly funny in places and consistently moving. The raw gospel lament by one witness, Mrs. Mtimkhulu, for her dead son, sung by Thembi Mtshali-Jones at the end of the first act, has extraordinary power, leaving the audience in pale shock as the interval lights come up. But Truth in Translation is more than a remarkable stage production...
...wake up and smell the coffee at Starbucks. That's the lament of Howard Schultz, the founder and chairman of the ubiquitous java chain, in an internal memo that recently became external.

Compton ’09 easily has the best voice in the cast as the romantically frustrated, three-breasted “Lotta Boobies” (get it?!). His forlorn lament “A Lotta Love” ranges from passages of delicate melodicism to “Stand and Deliver”-level force...
Just last November, the Boston University CRs endured a barrage of criticism for sponsoring a “Whites-only” scholarship, ostensibly to lament race-based academic preferences. A month later, Tuft University’s conservative journal, The Primary Source, generated a hullabaloo over an unfortunately irreverent mock-Christmas carol, “O Come All Ye Black Folk,” written in opposition to diversity-minded admissions decisions...
