...show that has always prided itself on tradition-bound simplicity. In keeping with this institution, Harvard STAGE’s recent production of the musical in the Agassiz Theatre was adept but conventional, with its success as an enjoyable playgoing experience due as much to the latter quality as to the former. For most of the year, Harvard STAGE (Student Theater Advancing Growth & Empowerment) is a charitable student organization that educates Boston-area middle school students about theater.

Nelson Mandela, one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century, talks about why Oprah Winfrey is a hero to him. Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith writes about his respect for rival coach Tony Dungy of the Indianapolis Colts, this year's Super Bowl winner. Martin Scorsese talks about why Leonardo DiCaprio...
...splits off the world in this manner. Any student who is taking intermediate microeconomics needs to decide if he wants to take a class taught in English or in math. If the former, he is to take Economics 1010a, “Microeconomic Theory.” If the latter, Economics 1011a, “Microeconomic Theory.” Science theses should typically have math. Humanities theses typically should...
