...working at his highest levels. It's narratively clean, clear and perfectly punctuated by suspenseful and expertly staged action sequences. It's full of sympathetic (and in this case, anguished) characters, and it is, morally speaking, infinitely more complex than the action films it superficially resembles--pictures that simply pit terrorists against counterterrorists without an attempt to explore anyone's motives and their tragic implications...
...only fitting that it is fully complemented by musicians placed front and center. In fact, the orchestra is placed right in front of the audience. While their central position is perhaps more a function of the limitations of Agassiz Theatre than anything else (as there is no pit, it is difficult to put the musicians anywhere other than front and center without banishing them backstage), this placement imbues the viewing experience with the senses of a symphony concert as well as a play.

The Institute of Politics group H-Vote tries desperately to get students registered to vote locally, but we make up only two percent of the voting public come election time, despite being a potentially decisive voting bloc.We value the city instead for its pit-stops, between which we float like bees pollinating, forming only the vaguest impression of the community around us, from Felipe’s, to Staples, to ABP. It would hardly be surprising to find that most Harvard students think the Cambridge streets are constructed of junk food and cheap stationary...
