This summer, Randal Myler’s off-broadway hit, “Love, Janis,” seared the national stage for the first time, presenting the meteoric rise and fall of iconic 1960s rock vocalist Janis Joplin based on letters that Joplin wrote home to her parents. In the two-actor set, singer-actress Katrina Chester (“Sex and the City”) portrayed Joplin as she lived hard and drank hard, convincingly mimicking Joplin’s raspy singing voice and incendiary stage presence in the live performance of 19 Joplin classics.

On the right side of the political divide, Merkel could try to pry the Greens out of Schr?der's embrace. Arithmetically, this is a fetching idea; ideologically, it is not. How would...
Perhaps people have some stereotypes about athletes because of their limited contact with them. I, however, have seen a baseball player cut to the heart of romantic poetry, a lacrosse player with a rock-solid grasp of electoral reform, a rower receive top grades in statistics and calculus, another rower who, in addition to working an outside job, was a teaching fellow in engineering, and yes, I’ve seen a football player with the ability to converse about American literature with the profundity of a tenured professor. These are all varsity athletes, all clearly demonstrating more than enough...
