After decades of impotent loathing, I finally found myself in a position to take action. I was gifted a $325 ticket to the new Yankee Stadium to see Satan's pinstriped nine play my beloved Baltimore Orioles. It turns out that $325 buys not just an excellent seat but access to the all-you-can-eat buffet in the superswanky Legends Suite. My plan was simple: eat enough so that at the end of the season, the accountants would say, "What happened on May 19? We lost so much on concessions that night that we can no longer afford...
...Trier means to portray the woman's dangerous identity with the witches who were the subject of her thesis, and to argue that nature itself may be evil.

During that period, you had a lot of turmoil in conjunction with Vatican II shaking up the church and getting rid of many very old traditions, the Latin mass and those sorts of things...
...settings with which Harvard students could easily identify: Onstad lamented the loss of his idyllic love while seated at a table covered with empty Solo cups and ping pong balls, several prostitutes passed out next to him. And in a fitting final exit, after revealing his true identity as Satan to Tom and cursing him with insanity, Nick departs into the midst of the audience, eerily signaling that devil is amidst each of us. This exemplifies the artistic thesis espoused in the program notes by both the artistic and musical directors: “In this production we strove...
