...Randomization went into effect with the Class of '99, and house character is unquestionably more artificial today where it can be said to exist at all. Worse yet, gay and black students (among others) no longer have residential spaces where they feel particularly at home.

The rotund Ron Taylor (one of five co-authors) is the show's soulful heart, while Eloise Laws and Gretha Boston have the most impressive vocal turns.
