...walking striped cats on leashes down the street. Flora is groped at age 12 by an older man named “Hubert H. Hubert” (many characters are lifted near-wholesale from Nabokov’s other books). And embarrassing puns abound—a miniature chess set is given to Laura because “she knew the moves,” a “potentate is potent” until the age of 80—which simply never would have reached print...
Director Michael M. Donahue ’05 says he and the organizers of the production went to Common Casting last fall without a set number of undergraduates in mind. Besides choosing six production assistants, they ended up selecting three freshmen to round out their cast. These nine students also participated in the A.R.T.

In the 2007 Beanpot, Schaus set the NCAA record as a freshman for most saves in a game. Unfortunately for the Eagles, Corrine Boyles hasn’t had the immediate success of Bellamy and allowed six goals against a Dartmouth squad that the Harvard freshman held to one in the Crimson’s 4-1 Friday night victory. The Big Green defeated the Eagles 6-3 last Wednesday...
