Having written his first musical at 15, under the tutelage of Oscar Hammerstein, Sondheim is frequently cast as the last of the genre's greats. But far from being a relic from a golden age, his work continues to gain new audiences and interpretations. This season saw major revivals of A Little Night Music in London and West Side Story on Broadway - where there's been at least one Sondheim show playing annually for the past five years. Add in smaller venues, there are hundreds - even thousands - of revivals of his shows in any given year...
...original productions were commercial - and critical - flops the first time round. Critics found him cold, audiences found him élitist, and producers wanted tunes people could hum. Much of Sondheim's career has been spent waiting for everyone else to catch up. And they usually do.

...qualifications. And it was a particularly poignant weekend for the seniors competing this weekend. Senior Becky Christensen stayed true to form, clearing a second-place 1.81-meter bar in the high jump. The clearance topped the NCAA-qualifying mark, though Christensen already claimed her NCAA bid earlier in the season. “The competition was good. My timing was off,” Christensen said. “It was good preparation for Regionals cause a lot of the girls I competed with are the ones I’ll see in North Carolina.” Classmate Brittan...
Freshman Rachel Brown of the Harvard softball team was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Year in a league announcement last Thursday. Brown, a pitcher, made the All-Ivy First Team, one of the Crimson’s six all-league selections. In her rookie season, Brown shattered the Harvard single-season strikeout record, recording 211 on the season.

Brown finished the season with a 16-7 record and a 1.49 ERA in 28 appearances. Her four...
