...production doesn’t manage to score. Playing until April 26, “Cloud Nine,” directed by James M. Leaf ’09-’10 and produced by Anusha Deshpande ’09, is a commentary on gender roles and sexual repression that does not manage to be insightful enough or provide a big enough laugh to make the three-hour production worthwhile. The cast makes an admirable attempt at humor, but ultimately the production has difficulty gelling into an enjoyable final product...

About 70 people stood in a circle on the steps of Memorial Church, each holding a lit candle. After the Radcliffe Pitches performed an a cappella version...
...William Levada, a high-ranking Vatican official whom Pope Benedict XVI hand-picked to succeed him in his old job as head of the Vatican's doctrinal office, offered early signs on Friday that the Vatican will change its internal, or canon, laws concerning the church's response to sexual abuse allegations - a matter that has become the main topic of the Pope's American visit. The changes would follow adjustments made some time ago involving the church's statute of limitations with regard to some particularly egregious offenses. The Cardinal suggested that laws meriting amendment may involve statutes...
