Indeed, the evidence seemed over-whelming that the world I will graduate into will be one characterized by ever-increasing income inequality and a drop in standards of living. And yet, while studying just a few days ago, a ray of hope shone forth to me from an unlikely source: the otherwise tinder-dry pages of my Ec 10 textbook...
...could tell the tensions were high last night when a rabid St. Lawrence fan ripped down a colorful "Go Harvard" sign and tore part of it off. The sign was replaced by deservedly upset members of the Harvard contingent; yet after suffering a setback, it shone bright as ever...

They slipped into their roles with a familiarity and understanding that was not reached by anyone else in the cast. Truly, Lewis's quiet but sharp one-liners and Gotlieb's outspoken, often obnoxious punch-lines brought...
