Leopold Engleitner, the world’s oldest-known male concentration camp survivor, recounted the story of his ordeal to a packed Science Center lecture hall on Monday evening. Students and other attendees overflowed into the stairwell and along the back walls to hear Engleithner, a 103-year-old Jehovah’s Witness who was incarcerated by the Nazis for having refused military service. His presentation was conducted in interview format, with questions posed by graduate student Johann Boedecker. Engleithner’s biographer, Bernhard Rammerstorfer, sat alongside the survivor to translate questions into his native Austrian dialect...

When Ghosts of Girlfriends Past opened last night - earning a decent $6 million, but nowhere near X-Men Origins: Wolverine's $35 million - it performed best among Females Over...
Even though Shafrin continued on the theatrical path, the versatile actor has made a career at Harvard by broadening his boundaries, albeit in an unconventional way. His first professional voice training came only after landing a role in the Krokodiloes, Harvard’s premier all-male a cappella group. And Shafrin’s most recent stage role was also his drag debut. He played Juno, a pregnant, Sunny-D-swigging adolescent oracle, in the Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ burlesque, “Acropolis Now.” “I definitely felt like I didn?...
...Clark is also a talented actor. Though he has acted in seven plays, which amounts to a fairly substantial Harvard acting career, Clark nonchalantly downplays his achievement. “I tend to always play the same character,” he says. “The strong, male character.” Clark derives great satisfaction from his ability to help produce plays and sooth conflicts among members of the cast, and his abilities are well appreciated among members of the Harvard theater community. After graduation, Clark hopes to stay in Boston and find a job in the tech...
