...Caroline--like Caroline--doesn't move us as she should. The anecdote that sets the story in motion seems too thin to carry the message-laden freight. The broader social milieu--the early civil-rights movement, the J.F.K. assassination--is merely introduced, not dramatized. The musical aims for operatic tragedy and--with the help of Pinkins' steely, square-shouldered power--keeps promising a big payday.

[SPOILER] In the film, the killer is one of the group of five (brutish Daniel Boulanger), who is put in jail before Julie can kill him. Julie materializes at the artist...
...principles without risking federal funding. NYU Law School and several other schools and faculties have formed the Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights (FAIR), which has filed suit in federal court to challenge the Solomon Amendment. The suit raises substantial constitutional and statutory issues, and has already survived a motion to dismiss. Harvard has been warmly invited to join FAIR. Again, we ask President Summers to allow Harvard Law School to join FAIR, or to bring its own similar lawsuit challenging the presence of discriminatory recruiters on Harvard’s campus...
