Last Saturday night I was witness to a sordid train of events. The identities of those involved will not be divulged. Upon returning from a poetry reading, my friend and I entered her common room to discover an intoxicated, unconscious pre-frosh lying on the floor in a pool of her own vomit. My friend was not this poor girl's host, and neither were any of her roommates.

Simpsonesque details of sex, class, betrayal and death but also with a surprise nearly every...

For example, they did beautiful things to Sanders Theater (that's what happens when you have more than a $ 500 grant from the OFA), so that one entered and felt like one really was by a warm hearth in a land of ale and pudding just before the sordid ugliness of the Industrial Revolution sank in (oh, the theme for this year's Revels was a Dickensian journey through Victorian England). There was holly and gold and props like an affection-starved distant female relative gone too lonely. And enough opulent poofy costumes to cover the sky. On-stage...
