...until her death in 1990. While working as a cinema supervisor through the '90s, the aspiring playwright penned his aptly titled second play-and the one-woman show, with nine characters spanning three generations, proved to be the little one that roared. First performed in 1999, Fraser's love letter to his grandmother toured the world to acclaim-thanks in part to actress Madeleine Sami's extraordinary performance-and was even translated into Spanish. But all the while the playwright envisaged a celluloid version, and after several producers approached with the names of directors, Fraser decided to take the reins...
...ordinary horror movie. It was, in fact, an old-fashioned mystery, an exercise in ratiocination, a locked-room puzzle - except that instead of deducing where the secret door is, you have to saw off your foot to get out. That first film borrowed elements from Poe's "The Purloined Letter" (hide a clue in plain sight) and Alice in Wonderland (an audio tape bears the message "Play me"). I'm tempted to compare the two men's existential dilemma to that of a Samuel Beckett play. There are differences, though. Instead of being buried to the neck in sand...

People often ask why this generation does not protest, and the answer is that they have found more effective ways to induce change...
There is something more fundamentally problematic, however, about using the Memorial Hall transept for Fly-By than just its absence of seating. As former Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis ’68 pointed out in a letter to The Crimson, the transept is a memorial to those Harvardians who lost their lives fighting for the Union in the Civil War. Using it to serve food is disrespectful. We suggest that Fly-By’s serving area be moved to a compact space at the back of Annenberg Hall, near the statues of John Winthrop and John...
...letter Wednesday to the Office of Management and Budget, Rep. Henry Waxman, the senior Democrat on the House Government Reform Committee, claims that Bush Administration cabinet officers have "routinely flaunted" the rules governing the use of private planes. Traveling on private planes and helicopters, he complains, always seems to spike around election time. During the 2004 campaign, travel on private aircraft to cities in battleground states "was over four times higher than in non-election years," says Waxman. In October 2004, for example, then Education Secretary Rodney Paige spent $50,290 on private jet travel in three key states - Pennsylvania...
