...sailboat on still water; live, she unleashes turbulent gusts of feeling. Her new versions of Hold On, about losing a friend to AIDS, and Possession, about a controlling lover, reveal glimmers of rage that her studio albums only hint at. From her biggest album, 1997's Surfacing, the ode to love gone bad, Do What You Have to Do (which popped up in the Starr report when a certain intern's jottings to the President cited it as her fave), becomes a taut wire of despair as its restless, searching piano line plays off the icy clarity of her lyrics...

An e-mail I wrote to Marty Feldstein, that he decrease his course's opportunity costs by renaming Ec 10 Sections "Ections" and the colloquially-named Marty Feldstein articles, "Marticles." (Luckily, he was amused.) My 1997 Datamatch results. (I had been hopeful--my parents met through it without even attending Harvard--but destiny awaited me elsewhere.) A quote from a student in a class I shopped that made...
