Once upon a time you might have thought that Sophocles wrote Antigone to describe the peculiar burial practices in ancient Greece. But in the new version of the play, The Passion of Antigona Perez by Puerto Rican Luis Rafel Sanchez, which director Vincente Castro brings to the Loeb Mainstage March 3-6 and 9-12, the determined girl who wants to bury her dead brother becomes a symbol for all those who resist repressive regimes.

Shortstop--In July, Larry Bowa received a two-minute standing ovation for a great play he made on a Tony Perez grounder. Dave Concepcion, however, is the best all-round shortstop in the majors. A slight edge for the Reds...
