...Daniel Pelzig) rather than of one person's vision, the many dances sometimes appear disjointed. Certain scenes in Act II could definitely profit from some alterations. The dance of the Russian soldiers in scene six, accompanied by possibly the most rousing segment of Tchaikovsky's score, fails to project the same enthusiasm present in the music. Equally anti-climactic is the Arabian Coffee dance in scene three...
Just as actors often have burning desires to direct, music producers frequently long to be behind the microphone, and Steve Tyrell is no exception. Having contributed to the Father of the Bride soundtracks, Tyrell has decided to try his hand at a full length project, A New Standard, composed entirely of jazz standards (doubling, naturally, on producing duties). The execution is something fairly uneven. While works penned by Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern can never be truly faulted, Tyrell doesn't possess the vocal versatility to make them twinkle with true allure. "Give Me the Simple Life" caters...
Forget the braggadacio of "Hate Me Now" and the "damn I've got money now" sentiment that seems to have infected every other major hip-hop artist; Nas has started wrestling with the issues at the core of life in places like the Queensbridge Projects, where he grew up.

My mission, which I chose to accept, was to create a sidebar for last week's consulting/investment banking scrutiny. The piece was meant to be a small quiz to help recruits discover the profession they were most suited for. Comfortable in my abilities to lampoon what some consider the most morally defunct of career professionals--intellectual whores, if you will--I set out for home...
...leaders are often Harvard's pride and those students most easily confused with intellectuals. They found groups, they take on massive projects, they organize and coordinate large student activities from the Hasty Pudding to Project HEALTH to the IOP. They work long hours, put in incredible amounts of effort and make important changes in the quality of life for Harvard students and the surrounding communities, but leadership alone does not make an intellectual. These leaders could enthusiastically talk you under the table with plans for new improvements and new programs but are just as unlikely to know why it matters...
