But having bitten the hand that feeds him enough times on stage, and on two CDs (Never Mind the Pollocks-Here's the Histrionics and Museum Fatigue), Kesminas, 40, has become...
...chosen out of a 140-person lottery—attended “Eastern Etiquette: A Guide to Protocol, Manners, and Culture in China,” co-sponsored by the Harvard-Radcliffe Chinese Students Association (HRCSA) and the Harvard International Business Club (HIB), held at the Royal East Restaurant in Cambridge. HIB manager Edmond W. F. Cheuk ’09 said that the event was organized in response to what the organizers saw as China’s intrigue in Harvard students. “Since China is a place with ever increasing political, cultural, and economic influence...
