Dougan ’04 to create the animated teenage mutant ninja turtle porn for his final project in VES 53a, “Fundamentals of Animation.” The film received mixed reviews when it was screened at the end of the semester...

Classical music, for instance, went off the air in Miami after the then-current classical FM station was bought out by the Cox conglomerate, which changed the station’s format to techno music. After a year-and-a-half, classical is back on the Miami airwaves—to the pleasure of many devoted listeners—on an locally owned AM channel.
