...Castle Lady period of Ted's life is now over, although it does loom large in his legend (when traveling in public, the women referred to themselves as Ted's "wives"). But Ted has kept women in the forefront of his productions. The latest manifestation of this femme-mania is a wild outing titled "Apartheid Slave Women's Justice." Shot on videotape, the feature is a race-relations allegory about a kangaroo court of black South African women who capture and try their former "master," played by Mikels.

Indeed, the Crimson's strength of schedule and its high level of play against the nation's best teams will likely loom large in the minds of the selection committee on Sunday. A win over Columbia tomorrow can, and should, gain Harvard a berth...

...thick, befuddling fog settled over the presidential campaign in Boston--a blanket of contradictory facts and assertions that hasn't lifted yet. But two basic images loom through the haze. The first is Bush's portrait of Gore as a retrograde liberal who wants to patch up the edifice of the Great Society. The second is Gore's portrait of Bush as a faithful servant of the rich and powerful who wants to wire-transfer the surplus into the bank accounts of the upper class, spending "more money on tax cuts for the wealthiest 1%" than he does...
