...freshman No. 6 Alexandra Zindman 3-0 and No. 9 sophomore Sandra Mumanachit, who rallied from two sets down to win 3-2. With the victories, both Zindman and Mumanachit moved to 6-0 on the season to lead the team in wins. While the loss was a rather rude awakening after a two month off-season, Harvard’s schedule does not get any easier. No. 2-ranked Penn travels to Cambridge on Saturday followed by No. 1-ranked Princeton on Sunday. The Crimson wraps up its regular season next Wednesday against the No. 4-ranked Lady Bulldogs...
...should add a bit more context here. The speech was given the night before the South Carolina primary. The setting was a historic spot, Penn Center on St. Helena Island, a complex of rude buildings that had served as a center for the civil rights movement, dating back to the Civil War. The crowd, however, was overwhelmingly white - a silent reproach to Clinton by his best-loved constituency, those unutterably decent, hardworking, middle-class, churchified African Americans. They had been shocked and hurt, and then enraged, by his foolish, two-week effort to diss Barack Obama. The next crowd...

...fairy tale, aimed chiefly at children. But would it be rude to ask why Broadway's fairy tales for adults (Oklahoma!, Guys and Dolls) can become musical theater classics while the ones directed at kids become critical dartboards? Or to point out that most of the children's theater I've seen in the past few years has had more theatrical verve and originality than most of the serious stuff I've had to sit through on Broadway? Or to wish, just once, that Disney might get a little credit for recruiting some of the most adventurous theater artists...
...Critic Liu says rich - and rude - audiences are giving the music he loves a bad name. "People think of classical-music lovers as pretentious dabblers," says Liu. That negative impression stems in part from the high ticket prices commanded by international groups. Despite burgeoning enrollment at classical-music conservatories and an expanding market for classical music countrywide, many music lovers in China are priced out of performances by top-tier musicians. Tickets to the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic this month start at 280 renminbi (about $38). Such pricey seats, particularly when filled by unappreciative listeners, could prevent...
