Some plays should never be performed. Directed by Aileen K. Robinson ’08, and co-produced by Benjamin M. Poppel ’09 and Jeremy R. Steinemann ’08, Harvard-Radcliffe Summer Theater (HRST) inexplicably chose to perform Keith Bunin’s “The World Over.” This past Friday at the Loeb Experimental Theatre, HRST presented its audience with a commendable production of a terrible play...
...Comprising 68 artists, from earnest Abstract Expressionists to punning Postmodernists, the show follows a similar pattern to the one seen in Bonn earlier this year, and commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, the New York-based art behemoth that has spread its museum tentacles to Bilbao, Berlin, Las Vegas and, perhaps next, Abu Dhabi.

Carnoustie's general manager Graeme Duncan says a cold, wet spring has thinned out the rough. The winning score could be 20 or so shots lower than eight years ago, he reckons. But Carnoustie's head greens keeper, John Philp, whose fingers are stained black by the course's soil, says such a tally would be an insult to the links' distinguished history: "Golf was never meant to be a fair game, or an easy...
