...Ross H. Fleischman '00, of Eugene, Ore., a Crimson editor, becoming a Zen Buddhist was one way to reconcile having the assurance of an established religion without having to rely on his Unitarian upbringing...
...Matthew Ross claims he chose Harvard mainly out of "adolescent confusion" but found a reason to stay when he joined the Visual and Environmental Studies department. Ross adds that even beyond VES classes, Harvard is instructive to a filmmaker in that "you have to put up with a lot of crap at Harvard. I think in a lot of ways it's a really challenging school emotionally and socially." Ross has paid his dues and his reward, a senior film "Here Comes Your Man," named after a Pixies song, chronicles the end of a relationship. In order to finish...

Come expecting a dour jeremiad on man's corruptibility--or even a slice-of-lice drama like Mamet's American Buffalo or Glengarry Glen Ross--and you'll be pleasantly surprised. The villains in The Spanish Prisoner (like the war-games con men in Mamet's Wag the Dog script) dress well, speak softly and carry a silver stiletto. They kill for sport...
