...Quincy House Film Society showing of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is halted by angry members of the Harvard-Radcliffe Troll Association. Chanting "Walt Disney, stop your lies: we're gonna cut you down to size," the protesters topple the projector. In an open letter to the Harvard community, six Nieman fellows denounce the trolls for "seriously undermining the liberties we all hold dear."

Brown wrote, directed, shot, edited, appeared in, even ran the projector for Counterpoint at a showing the other night. But mostly he produced it. Brown got an original loan of $400 from the Eliot House entertainment fund. Then he sold shares in the film to 42 students--sending a prospectus to friends in Cambridge, in Eliot House, in the Hasty Pudding Club--to pay his creditors back. Brown even...
