Students who have participated in the program are positive about it. Nabil Foster '94, a self-described art lover, says, "There really aren't many places in the world where you have [this kind] of resource available to you. It's a wonderful concept that any Harvard student can walk out of the Fogg with a piece...
...movie to gays; Philadelphia has been the hot topic for a month, and nobody wants to miss out on the dish du jour. Cocktail parties are peppered with objections to the plot: Why does Andy Beckett (the Hanks character) get no more than a chaste kiss from his lover (Antonio Banderas)? Why is his case rejected by 10 lawyers, when even a simpleton knows that the ACLU, the LAMBDA defense fund and many other groups would jump at the chance of a precedent-setting suit?

Because it traces Phung Le Ly's life story, the film is dramatically misshapen: its most singing moments are in the first half. And audiences may be as weary of Stone's haranguing about Vietnam as they are afraid of people with AIDS. But if Stone simplifies and distorts, he often...
