...real red meat of “Cop in the Hood” is, as its title suggests, the brutality and absurdity of police life outside the walls of the Police Academy. Moskos depicts the inner-city police districts of East Baltimore as completely overrun by the local drug market, where dealers hawk cocaine and heroin stored in perfume vials to eager addicts at all hours of the day. Given the impossibility of arresting thousands of users and dealers (often children or teenagers without any other means of income), the situation Moskos paints is bleak: the police, handicapped by unnecessary...
...Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club (HRDC) is returning to the black comedy’s bloody roots. The dark musical about the vengeful Todd and his accomplice Mrs. Lovett, who sells Todd’s murder victims off as meat pies to poor Londoners, will run on the Loeb Mainstage through this Saturday.

Of course, offering prize money to entice entrepreneurs is not a novel idea. The Ansari X prize, eventually awarded to Space Ship One, provided $10 million to develop private space flight. The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded prizes to develop autonomous ground vehicles. Even Google has offered...
...same nest, any logical thinker is prone to ask, “What’s up?”My favorite line from the Burton obituary quotes a 1984 People Magazine interview with the agent: “I hate to say it, but kids are pieces of meat. I’ve never had anything but filet mignon. I’ve never had hamburger. My kids are the choice meat.”I’m not sure how that makes you feel, but her words make me nauseous. For a moment...
