...producers as "the first modern Chinese gay novel." An original creation of Weinstein and Yee, the play very clearly comes from a longer prose work. Weinstein and Yee seem to have tried to strike a balance between dramatizing character development and bringing concrete action to the stage, but the latter often works better than the former. Blocks of monologue, rather than quick banter or fast-moving action, mark the development of the story. One character frequently delivers a revelation or reminiscence to another in a single, unbroken block of text. This can make for unusually slow theatrical pacing...

...show, and it's a tribute to their skill that the somewhat corny physical humor delineated to them (especially Cookie) becomes irresistibly funny in their hands. They make the fourth couple, Glenn and Cassie Cooper (Seth H. Goldbarg '97 and Taya L. Weiss '99), seem rather anticlimactic. The latter's portrayal of an uppity couple on the rocks--acerbic, paranoically jealous female and taciturn, spectacle-shunning male--has been done before, whereas there's surely never been a couple quite like this Ernie and Cookie...

...become law on his watch. And although Hatch quickly gathered seven G.O.P. co-sponsors, other Republicans whispered contemptuously about what they described as his sanctimonious air. "Hatch is not a team player," a Senate Republican grumbled. In a more public backlash, the conservative National Review recently dubbed Hatch a "Latter-Day Liberal," a play on his Mormon religion that Hatch found offensive. As the fray mounted, one of the bill's co-sponsors, Robert Bennett of Utah, dropped...

Tenor saxophonist and recording artist Don Braden '85, also a Jazz Band alum, performed three tunes, including an arrangement commissioned by the OFA entitled "Landing Zone" and an arrangement of the Hank Mobley tune "Soul Station." The latter, which will appear on Braden's upcoming release for RCA/Victor entitled The Voice of the Saxophone, was performed by an all-Harvard Jazz Band Alumni 13-person "Octet." Outstanding solos by tenor player Anton Schwartz '89 and trumpet player Bob Merrill '81, as well as uplifting playing by the rhythm section, fully expressed the buoyant yet nostalgic atmosphere which characterized this reunion...

...just getting started. We have much familiar hardship and vile torment to go. Not to mention the inevitable triumph of the human spirit. One day Adrienne Pargiter (Glenn Close) and Margaret Drummond (Pauline Collins) get to humming the theme from a symphony. The former once studied music seriously; the latter is a missionary who knows how inspiring a good tune can be when you're in the dumps. Or trying to survive in one. Soon enough the prisoners form a symphonic chorus, which sings wordless versions of great orchestral works. Even the more selfish and cynical prisoners--among them recent...
