Last weekend at the GBSs Lenz threw 212 ft., 4 in. to win easily, and despite a disappointing seventh place finish at Penn Relays last week, Lenz has won his event in every Harvard outdoor meet this season...
...MOON over the Mather House courtyard would delight Samuel Beckett as it dodges behind thick black clouds during this outdoor production of his existentialist tour-de-force, Waiting For Godot. By play's end, it nestles out of sight, casting an appropriate bleakness over a wet and shivering audience. The sky matches Beckett's play in its inability to illumine. The stage slipped between Mather House's cement blocks stands bare of even the smallest of miracles. No leaves flutter on the lone tree that cowers behind a tiny desert. A flute echoes as the only sign of regeneration when...
...playwright would be entertained less by Jenny Cornuelle's ambitious production of his bestknown work, which lacks meaning and plot, though the staging has its merits. Cornuelle's ingenuity shines through her apocalyptic set, an outdoor sandcastle lit by torches. It's clearly not the kind of sandcastle on which uplifting dreams are built. Since only futility wafts through Beckett's dreams and illusions, this purgatorial anti-Eden perfectly suits Vladimir and Estragon, the two main characters, who wander helplessly in search of the mysterious Godot...
...reputation for thinking small. It became a true press giant last summer when it merged with Combined Communications Corp., a Phoenix-based firm that owned the Cincinnati Enquirer (current circ. 190,000) and Oakland (Calif.) Tribune (current circ. 165,000), seven television stations, twelve radio stations and extensive outdoor-advertising interests. Among chains, Gannett is the longtime leader in number of papers, and last year passed the 55-paper Knight-Ridder chain in weekday circulation. Gannett's total is now 3,580,000 (vs. Knight-Ridder's 3,492,000), more than double that of a decade...
Long's indoor works are a strange contradiction in terms. The pieces are similar to those done outdoors--circles and lines in stone and wood. While the coarse raw materials seem out of place on smooth, polished gallery floors, the simple geometric forms work well in architectural frameworks. In Long's works, nature does not rebel against enclosure; rather, all is calm and ordered. Circles are centered in rooms, and lines of stones parallel the walls. The indoor works have none of the geographic specificity of the outdoor pieces; they can work in any number of interiors. In a rare...
