...Tempest is often seen as the Englishman's version of America, as Shakespeare's testament to the belief that, starting with nothing, good people can create a whole new world. By diversifying the roles within the play and by adding lots of mime and dance, directors Laura Shiels and Rick Engelhart (who also directed A Mid-summer Night's Dream last year) hope to construct in this Adams/Quincy production of Tempest more than just another alternative to society's mistakes. What will occur on the island is nothing less than a grand Christmas spectacle that will open in mid-December...

...record will be the team's poorest for at least a couple of years. Only one starter, Captain Tom Joyce, will be missing next year, and Park finds himself with an overabundance of substitutes there. The all-freshman infield of Bingham, Stenhouse, Burke, St. John and Rick Pierce "should be the best defensive infield I've ever had at Harvard in another year," Park noted.

The arms of Stewart, Clifford, Baloff, McOsker Bannish and Larry Brown cannot help but mature, and will eventually provide Park with at least...
