...half-fairy (the upper half) son, named Strephon (Michael Moss ’03). Strephon is in love with Phyllis (Lisa D. Lareau ’06), who, as an orphan, has been entrusted to the court of chancery and is dependent on the permission of the Lord Chancellor to get married; unfortunately, the entire house of Lords, including the Lord Chancellor himself (Daniel A. Spitzer ’05), are in love with her. The Harvard Radcliffe Gilbert Sullivan Players’ successful performance highlighted the silliness of the piece without losing track of the fact that most...
...Fairy Queen, alternates between Queen-of-Hearts-like condemning her subjects to “DEATH!” for courting mortals and shamelessly swooning over the mortal Private Willis (Marcus L. Wang ’04), who was passably but inexplicably portrayed as an American. Spitzer, as the Lord Chancellor, wears a constantly pained look at his moral dilemma and is also one of the more convincingly old men I have seen portrayed by college students. The selfless Iolanthe, played sweetly by Maccoby, displays completely genuine goodwill toward the world. Moss and Lareau, playing the two young lovers...

...some of them. Jordan, who had unconscionably been outed by name by the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, had received a threatening letter. The judge declared a mistrial. It was particularly frustrating that the mistrial was caused, in the end, by events outside the courtroom. Lord knows we had enough problems inside the jury room. We had come together, however uneasily, only to have the marathon canceled just as we were staggering the final yards. I can't say for certain that we would have reached a verdict. It was forever a moving target, like Charlie Brown...
...critics say Warren's plan may not be the best prescription for every person's long-term spiritual growth. And some argue that he's using the Lord's name for commercial gain. "The Purpose-Driven ministry is a marketing strategy," says Dennis Costella, pastor of the Fundamental Bible Church in Los Osos, Calif. "We believe the Bible tells us to present the word of God without packaging it for a contemporary cultural context." What his detractors call commercialism and marketing, Warren calls evangelism. "I believe I have the key to meaning and purpose in life with...
