...Coppola's artistic mission was to parallel Marie and her retinue with today's modern youth, cocooned in their own search for pleasure. Straddling the centuries, Coppola puts her idle rich in period dress and accompanies their fatuous frolics with raucous rock music. The spirit here is less the divine decadence of Paris, France, than the spoiled shallowness of Paris Hilton. Obsessed with their games, gossip and petty erotic intrigues, these Valley children of privilege are oblivious to the needs and sufferings of oppressed humanity. Coppola, herself a princess of movie royalty, may be painting a corrosive portrait...

The representatives follow her orders. Sometimes even Riley can’t be all ears. Sometimes even she has to lay down...
Thunderous applause perhaps more fit for a rock venue than stately Sanders Theatre marked the performance of Stefan P. Jackiw ’07 at Friday night’s Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra (HRO) Pre-frosh Weekend concert. A raucous crowd refused to sit down until after Jackiw had returned to the stage three additional times after his performance of Johannes Brahms’s “Violin Concerto.”Led by HRO conductor Dr. James Yannatos, Harvard’s orchestra proved a fine match for Jackiw, executing a moving performance...
