With a mother who teaches costume design and a former set designer for a father, Sarah A. Sherman ‘09 was probably always fated to be involved with the theater in some way. As one of this year’s recipients of the Jonathan Levy Award, which recognizes “the most promising actor or actress at the University,” it’s clear that her genetic predisposition for the stage paid off. Growing up in New York City, Sherman would spend long hours after school with her mother in the costume shop...

They say Hamas must be forced to choose between the ballot and the bullet. They...
...that enlargement helped transform the region. Eight central and eastern European countries joined the E.U. five years ago along with Cyprus and Malta, while Romania and Bulgaria followed in 2007. The enlargement process encouraged a wrenching industrial overhaul of those nations, based on the privatization and liberalization that was set as part of the price for E.U. membership, and in doing so shepherded their makeovers from stodgy Soviet vassals into economic dynamos. Slovakia and the Baltic states saw growth rates as high as 7-10% in their best years. And in Poland, the unemployment rate dropped from...
