Memory and its creeping loss are the themes that give Barney's Version its depth. The Ten Commandments and their discontents are what keeps the pages turning. Barney is a flamboyant sinner. What can you say about a guy who immediately tries to run off with a woman he meets at his own wedding, or plays practical jokes on the elderly? But did Barney really kill Boogie, an old friend and international moocher who was caught in the act with the second...
...Titus, Tamora and Tamora's lover, Aaron the Moor (Uche Amaechi '99)--Sherrod, as the vengeful Tamora, is the most successful.

Those countries are expected to sign...

Objectivism is lumped in with conservatism, as if Ayn Rand's vision of man as a rational, productive, heroic being were compatible with the conservative vision of a wretched sinner who will sacrifice himself for the needy willingly if the government will just let him. Objectivists are caricatured as blind followers, as if being convinced by a rational argument were equivalent to obeying some authority's dogma. Ayn Rand's admirers are smeared as "philosophically challenged" by a detractor...
