President Linda S. Wilson awarded the $5,000 Captain Jonathan Fay Prize to Ann C. Hwang '97 in a 28 ceremony highlighted by the surprise appearance of Hwang's mother...
...Sutherlands, Larry and Linda, middle Americans, are getting up in years. Larry, retired, likes to putter around the lawn with his dog, Trinket. Linda's venue is her kitchen, well-equipped, with microwave and freezer. Their home is comfy and welcoming, with wall-to-wall carpeting, a floral arrangement in the front window, wind chimes at the door and an illuminated sign hanging out the front.

They meet (about as uncute as any couple in the history of screwball farce) because Linda (Kelly Preston), his former fiance, has moved into a Lower Manhattan loft with Anton (Tcheky Karyo), her former lover. Sam, an astronomer, has rigged up a camera obscura in a tumbledown tenement across from their love nest, which he uses to snark on them. He charts the many ups and very...
