...leaps. The first half of “Pointe/Counterpointe” concluded with a beautiful, classical group number, “Mendelssohn Romance.” For the most part, the group gave a very clean performance of this lovely choreography by Joffrey Ballet’s Avichai Scher which was set to a Mendelssohn piano trio. Female soloist Joanna R. Binney ’08, gave a particularly remarkable performance. “Slung Low Rising,” an upbeat, contemporary lyrical piece, provided a lively and promising beginning for the second half of the evening.

"When the parties are as intellectually bankrupt as they are in this state today," says Scher, "it leaves the politicians with little...
Detractors say that Harris, despite her Harvard master's degree in public administration, has the rep of a country-club lightweight whose only exercise of "discretion" until now has been "pearls or diamonds?" "She was completely unprepared for both this job and this crisis," says Scher. Even some of her friends agree. Says one in the state capital: "She is in so far over her head that it's hard not to think that every move she makes is orchestrated by the Bushes and the Republicans...
