...leadership and fresh eyes," Gates said, refusing to elaborate. He noted that Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Admiral Mike Mullen and General David Petraeus, who as chief of U.S. Central Command oversees the Afghanistan war, both endorsed the move. Officers typically serve about 24 months in the slot, meaning McKiernan served less than half his expected tour...
...Silent films. Once a larger part of TCM programming, mute cinema is now mostly confined to a Sunday-midnight niche - a glorious grotto, whose saints are Lon Chaney, Lillian Gish, John Gilbert, Marion Davies and other stars of MGM silents. The slot also is home to early masterworks from France (Jacques Feyder's Queen of Atlantis), Germany (F.W. Murnau's The Last Laugh) and Sweden (Victor Sjostrom's Phantom Carriage).

Videt, along with Ilinca Radulian ’10, applied to produce the play with HRDC last semester, and they were granted the second Loeb Mainstage slot of the spring season. “The Space Between” is an exploration of how to make theoretical physics manifest on stage. Inspired by the late Samuel Beckett, the play lacks a traditional form. Instead, it is divided into the intertwining stories of different couples who act almost...
