...seconds in Blowup, he changed Hollywood history. The movie was produced by Carlo Ponti and was to be distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the stately old lion of American film studios. But the industry ratings board wouldn't give the picture a seal because, during a photo-shoot romp, the model Jane Birkin allowed the briefest display of pubic hair. Instead of trimming the scene to the board's specifications, MGM honored Antonioni's version of the film, invented a subsidiary, Premier Productions, and sent Blowup out under that logo.

...basics of due process - rules to ensure the reliability of evidence, for example, or the ability to appeal a decision - let alone the right to habeas corpus. Congress reacted to the tribunals by doing absolutely nothing. It didn't approve or disapprove them, but left Bush free to romp over the legal rights of anyone suspected of terrorism.

...could be forgiven for not expecting “The Way of the World”—a play from the 18th century that deals with intersecting affairs, complicated marriage proposals, and attempts to secure inheritances—to be a punk-influenced romp. But that is exactly what veteran director Mary E. Birnbaum ’07 creates with her latest (and, sadly, final) production, which runs through May 5 at the Loeb Mainstage. The show is produced by Ben M.
