Daphne D. Adler '99, the co-director of last month's "Perpetual Motion," the first dance show to be granted the Mainstage by HRDC in recent memory, says she does not criticize the individual HRDC board members, but the selection process itself...
King Richard III represents what is perhaps the most ambitious character in a Shakespearean pantheon full of ambitious characters. Whereas a single murder or two is enough to guarantee the average character's downfall, or at the very least set events in motion for the tragic ending, as in Julius Caesar or Macbeth, Richard orders the death of his brother, young nephews, wife, Prince Edward, Henry VI, Rivers, Grey, Vaughan, Hastings and Buckingham.

But for the grownup reader, it's difficult not to interpret Tintin's constant motion as an evasion of mortality. Tintin's metabolism, like that of all other children's book characters, is governed by a simple law: Stop moving and you grow old and die. Archie and Jughead keep driving around suburbia for the very reason that once they stop, settle down...
