...main challenge that Walker and the cast had to confront in their production was Grellong’s melodramatic script. The play’s complex intrigues come off as somewhat contrived—even though its story of publishing and plagiarism is not unfamiliar to Harvard—but the dialogue often rang even more false. Twice throughout the play, Elizabeth tried to win David to her side, telling him that unlike Chris, the two of them are “old inside.” Moments like this one, where the script was too self-consciously trying...
...then came the main event. Antonin Dvorak’s “Cello Concerto in B minor,” featuring Koh’s solo performance, was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening. Truly a vessel for the music, Koh moved with the orchestra and with the conductor, his closed eyes suggesting deep emotion and intense concentration etched across his face.

Olmert said that the "end of 2008" for a final solution was actually a flexible deadline; meanwhile, Abbas refused to accept Olmert's declaration that Israel was "a Jewish state," since to do otherwise might take away the right of 4.5 million Palestinian refugees who are still demanding their right to return to their original homes, vacated...
...scored above their season average in helping Harvard pull off the upset. A tough Wolverines defense limited Harvard to 40.7 percent shooting from the field, but the two sophomores still went 5-for-9 and 4-for-8 from the field, respectively. McGeary was the team’s main threat from downtown, hitting three of seven shots from beyond...
