...undergrads on campus and alumni all over the world. It could even open lucrative new revenue streams—possibly even subsidizing the program itself—if we sell access to the database a la iTunes. Regardless of the means chosen, the ends would be to create a parallel endowment not measured in dollars in foreign investment funds, but in our professors’ wealth of knowledge. And we might even be able to trace our next Frost’s inspiration right to the source: that early Tuesday morning lecture by Münsterberg that rocked his world...
...house that they completed last year has three bedrooms, 2½ baths and an open-plan kitchen-dining-living area with a cathedral ceiling. It also has a pair of stepped roofs aligned in parallel curves, each serving a different environmental purpose. The lower roof is covered in solar panels. The notoriously cloudy coast of Oregon might not seem like the ideal place to draw power from the sun, but because of a combination of serious insulation with sophisticated systems for generating heat and storing it in geothermal wells?basically warm holes in the ground?over the course of a year...
...given the traditionally Orphic characteristic of compulsive creativity and is now a poet. The changes to Eurydice are the strongest aspect of the updated story.

...dancing to death without inducing whiplash. In combining two plays written in a similar style but years apart, Gentry has created a hybrid that meshes surprisingly well. The male and female characters don’t interact directly, but their roles enhance each other, especially in segments that are parallel between the two—for example, a woman’s monologue on rape is mirrored by a scene among the men about being wrongly accused of rape.This adaptation is so seamless that it became difficult to conceive of the two plays as separate entities. The actors were given...
