...money, I'd bet that the Black students at Harvard (and other colleges, too) who have chosen cosmopolitan identities rather than ethnocentric ones will in the future perform their Black leadership requirements better than Black students who have opted for ethnocentrism. If the good Lord's willing. I'll meet Timothy Wilkins. Anthony Ball, and Audrey Mitchell down the road in 20 years to pick up my winnings. By the way, I don't think Wilkins and his followers are getting off to a very good start, using resources of some Black graduates of Harvard for an ethnocentric Alumni Weekend...
...animate this stick--a challenge not usually above him, as he demonstrated two years ago in Plenty, playing another man of propriety married to a disturbed idealist. Covington, Tyzack and Haig (imported from the Royal Court Theater in London, where Tom and Viv was first produced last year) perform admirably in better roles, ones with a little shading, irony and spunk. Max Stafford- Clark's direction fills the stage at Manhattan's Public Theater with mausoleum air and anguished pauses: if this production were a poem, it would be mostly white space...

If anything, the only incentive is to purchase these rundown structures, perform expensive reconstructions, and resell them a few years later for a fat profit...
...largest of the Nazi death camps. As cattle cars of Jewish captives arrived, he committed the "unfit" to the gas chambers and chose others for his experiments. He injected serum into children's eyes in an effort to change their color and killed victims with drugs in order to perform autopsies on them. His special interest, however, was in twins and dwarfs. When Mengele found seven dwarfs among her Hungarian theater family, Elizabeth Moskovitch recalled from a wheelchair last week, he exclaimed delightedly, "Now I have 20 years' worth of material to study." The final witness was Ruth Eliaz. After...
