...though another choir had donned their white sailor suits during intermission. Not only did the choir boys sing the sacred prayer with everything on target--their key, their inflections, even their infusion of reverence--but the choir introduced a soloist who sent a shiver down the spine of every patron in Symphony Hall. Terence Wey, a boy of no more than 14 years of age, sang the prayer with a passion and penitence that could have touched the most phlegmatic atheist. Wey's shrill reverberations outshone the rest of the choir and were responsible for evoking an applause more thunderous...

His portrait hangs on every wall, his music is everywhere. He is a Rasta patron saint. The mix of joy and despair in his music appropriately captures the essence of the island...
...recently ate at Artu's, a trendy Italian eatery in Boston, and recognized more Harvard students in the North End than I did during my latest trip to Au Bon Pain. With every restaurant patron sitting outside as they eat their meal, the Square resembles one large quaint little bistro. Finally, my growing suspicions coalesced into a conclusion: Harvard, in its eternal search for new heights of elitism, has co-opted the latest in flamboyant Euro-snob chic. As if the fireplaces and finals clubs weren't appealing enough to every "sophisticate" on campus, we now have crepes served...
