...She’s the Man.” Although director James M. Leaf ’11 took great pains to keep the dialogue current, the set and costumes were wildly anachronistic, making it all the more clear that the gender issues Aristophanes explored in 411 B.C. persist through multiple millennia. The Loeb Experimental Theatre was transformed into a gritty, graffiti-laden dungeon, and the women wore costumes applicable to a number of female archetypes—the blouse and pearls of a housewife, the pink sundress of a Southern belle, the sequined mini-dress of a hooker.

It is not a good sign that Congress is still fighting over the federal budget which is also part of the grand plan to get the economy out of recession. But, hope springs eternal. If the number of jobs lost in March is under 600,000, economists can begin to make a case that pessimists are wrong. Unemployment will not hit 10% early next year. If the figure...
