...began to go wrong. From the flimsy and possibly dangerous stage setup, to the chaotic and unsafe conditions in the front rows, to the constant interruptions and ultimate cancellation of the concert by the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD), the performance was a major disappointment. While the event certainly outdid its predecessors in terms of artist choice, poor planning and failed communication ultimately undermined its success. The CEB should have expected and prepared for the turnout and excitement that are typical for a Girl Talk concert. While the CEB certainly tried to market the concert as just one segment...
...Summit stoked the anticipation by doling out trailers, photos and sound-track news to hungry fans via websites like Twilighters.org, BellaAndEdward.com and TwilightMoms.com. In July, the studio brought the cast to Comic-Con in San Diego, where, for once, shrieking fangirls outdid hooting fanboys in the audience - in number, ardor and decibel level. In recent weeks, the studio sent Twilight's 22-year-old British star Robert Pattinson on a tour of appearances at the mall-based clothing store Hot Topic, where he was greeted by Beatlemania-caliber crowds. Pattinson's San Francisco appearance was canceled after a crush...
...Both McCain and Palin have been spending much of the past couple of weeks in the Keystone State, hoping that Obama's support in western Pennsylvania, where Hillary Clinton far outdid the Illinois Senator in the primary, is soft and that McCain's efforts to distance himself from the current Republican President are convincing. (In that regard, he did himself no favors over the weekend, admitting that he and Bush share a "common philosophy," which Obama quickly seized upon.) Heeding calls from the likes of Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell not to take the state for granted, Obama is returning...
...befits their childish choice, Harvard’s mandarins have produced a startling volume of vaguely compelling rationale in Ms. Rowling’s defense, all of it apparently intended for a barely-adolescent audience. University President Drew G. Faust outdid even her sparkle-tastic self when she quipped that, “Harvard isn’t exactly Hogwarts, but I’m sure that her visit with us this June will be a moment of magic.” Magic? Here, at Harvard...
...depth. Still, junior co-captain Maria Larsson fought her way through the stiff competition to finish 18th of 43. Foil looks to be a bit stronger with three returning fencers in sophomores Misha Goldfeder, Anna Podolsky, and Arielle Pensler, who finished 15th, 17th, and 19th, respectively. But no one outdid the saber fencers. With the top finish of the day for the Crimson, senior Alexa Weingarden notched fifth place of 46 entries. She was closely followed by freshman Alexandra Sneider, who rounded out the top 10, and co-captain Samantha Parker in 15th. “We?...
