...Ames Courtroom on the Harvard Law campus, so that an audience could attend. It’s not easy, perhaps, for the uninitiated to sort out the strangeness of these measures, but in the legal world, a profession where day-to-day business is typically conducted out of the spotlight, in closed meetings held high in lobbied skyscrapers; where procedural minutiae are the one and only way, and the will of the judge is to be revered and respected, such activities are seen as highly iconoclastic, and even destructive. On the blogosphere, the quirky moves are dynamic fodder, taking...
...fire the long-time PBHA bookkeeper and comptroller—an officer of the Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers—which pegged Kidd as part of the anti-union administration. In 2005, Kidd’s relationship with student groups was again thrust into the spotlight after she threatened to shut down a planned student protest of the presence of CIA and Department of Homeland Security recruiters on campus, only to later abandon that position.

Pizzotti drew heat for his comments to the Boston Globe stating that he was offered a deal by the Jets in the sixth round of the draft, which would have been a violation of NFL rules. Pizzotti later clarified his statement, saying that there...
...ones. Kooza, from the Sanskrit word for "box," is light on elaborate production values, heavy on old-fashioned circus acts: jugglers, tumblers, contortionists, high-wire walkers... and clowns. Kooza's writer-director, David Shiner, has decades of intercontinental renown as a clown-mime; and his show throws a long spotlight on three of the breed. Nice change: they're all North Americans, and they talk - no Marcel Marceau winsomeness here. Surprise: they're fast, raucous and pretty funny...
