Having personally translated the script from its original French, Chase-Levenson powerfully conveyed the subtle nuances of Giradoux’s dialogue through his directorial choices.

While most foreign substances in the body trigger an immune-system defense, many illegal drugs, like cocaine, fail to do so because their molecules are too small; they slip into the brain unnoticed and unchallenged. But by attaching them to larger proteins - in the case of TA-CD, an inactivated cholera protein that has been widely tested and is unlikely to cause side effects, according to researchers - the immune system is prompted to create antibodies to both the larger protein and the piggybacked drug.

Princeton also wrestled a 1-0 lead away from the Crimson in a span of five minutes in the third period on Saturday night. While the team acknowledges the need to maintain focus for the full 60 minutes, part...
