...disrupted by police force in 1968 and mobbed by the hundreds visiting then-U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara in 1967 to demand answers about the Vietnam War. But by the year of their graduation, their inability to effect real social and political change had somewhat exhausted those who entered in 1963 so full of hope. The Vietnam War dragged on, with the worst yet to come, and the civil rights movement had made only superficial gains. “Few classes have entered Harvard with more faith in government (stirred by calls to action from a young...
...main challenge that Walker and the cast had to confront in their production was Grellong’s melodramatic script. The play’s complex intrigues come off as somewhat contrived—even though its story of publishing and plagiarism is not unfamiliar to Harvard—but the dialogue often rang even more false. Twice throughout the play, Elizabeth tried to win David to her side, telling him that unlike Chris, the two of them are “old inside.” Moments like this one, where the script was too self-consciously trying...

Along the way they mutated into state spies, aviators, and colonial rebels...
...bumblebee whose ability to fly has baffled generations of scientists. "The bumblebee, being unaware of these scientific facts, goes ahead and flies anyway and makes honey and pollinates the other plants," Huckabee told a group of reporters over lunch in Washington Thursday. "In many ways our campaign is somewhat like this. Conventional wisdom says that you cannot run a campaign with the amount of money that we've had up to date. You can't do it without the staff, the consultants, the budget - all those things that are considered absolutely critical. But we were unaware of those things...
