...steal it from a witch who lives next door (as related by several musical numbers). In exchange for the spice, this witch—played marvelously by Karol W. Malik ’08—forces Martinius to give up his firstborn, who grows up to be the sweet-voiced Rapunzel (Caroline A. Jennings ’09). Rapunzel is locked in a tower that can only be accessed by climbing her hair, a prince (Firth M. McEachern ’08) arrives and becomes determined to free her, and the rest is fairy-tale history...
...first time in 2007, both Radcliffe crews had home-river advantage, racing together on the Charles on Saturday. And the homecoming was a sweet one for both squads. The lightweights, coming off a strong third-place showing at the Knecht Cup last weekend, dominated Boston rival and seventh-ranked MIT, winning three of four races on the river. The win was highlighted by an 18-second victory for the varisty eight and an astounding 42-second thumping of the Engineers by the novice eight, which remains undefeated through the first four races of this spring season. The heavyweights posted...

In books like Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions and God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, the satirist, who struggled with depression, repeatedly explored the harmful effects of industry on human beings' collective morality. After laboring in obscurity for decades, he shot to global fame in 1969 with Slaughterhouse-Five, a fictionalized account of his experiences as a POW and "corpse miner" in Dresden after the Allies bombed the city...
...fifth grade. I remember hitting the first and only home run of my Little League career against St. Joseph’s at Juniper Park in Middle Village, N.Y. in April of that same year. I remember how it felt to finally hit a ball on the sweet spot of the bat, how I watched, dumbfounded, as the ball soared, before the screams of “Run! Run!” from the dugout finally reached my ears. I know that I made the Principal’s List in each term during eighth grade. I remember running down...
