...share of productions. From this ad hoc, self-driven environment came the likes of John A. Lithgow ’67, Stockard Channing ’65, and Peter M. Sellars ’80.While the environment was conducive to independence, students had nowhere to turn to learn the practical theater arts in an academic setting. This dilemma was meant to be resolved in 1978 with the founding of the A.R.T. by Brustein, who had also founded the Yale Repertory Theatre. Brustein’s exodus was the reverse of Baker’s. “My time...
...good news is that having the allele doesn't necessarily mean you can't learn from your mistakes.

...from criticizing the UC, as today’s Crimson editorial did, the Editorial Board should consider whether it—as well as the UC—already has fallen into irrelevance by its ridiculous cheerleading to allow college financing to subsidize underage drinking on campus. To learn, however, that beer, wine, and liquor compose the bulk of expenses for UC-funded parties was startling. It makes me glad as a parent of a Harvard sophomore that the College sought to cut off the booze spigot from term-bill funding. But why expend so many inches in print...
