Unlike his character Cliff Bradshaw, Thomas P. Lowe ’05 is no étranger to said attention. Lowe starred as Murius in Les Miserables from 1998 to 2000 and Rum Tum Tugger in Cats from 2000 to 2001 on London’s West End. His biggest claim to fame, however, comes as a member of the British boy band “North and South.” At 19, his band’s single “Man, Not a Boy,” jumped to number seven on the U.K charts and reached...
Although “Thought and Change in the Contemporary Middle East” does not admit to endorsing an agenda, it clearly subscribes to one. The ruminations of the United Nations, on their own, is hardly a balanced account of events. Neither is juxtaposing a moderate line-tugger with a vehement pro-Palestinian, or showing a gory documentary of life in Gaza without an accompanying video depicting the savage terrorism committed against Israelis...
...While the fame issue was much less prominent as a star of musical theater, Tom still found opportunities to expose himself to the public eye, especially when he posed nude (with all the appropriate places covered) for a trendy British magazine.

...Vegas-like now. In both casts, only the dancers playing the secondary role of Alonzo (Ken Nagy in Washington, Stephen Moore touring) achieve the cool detachment of another species. The singing, although always vibrant, is uneven. In the peripatetic cast Andy Spangler glows as the Elvis-like Rum Tum Tugger and Leslie Ellis is haunting as Grizabella, the faded glamour cat, but in the Washington troupe the performers in those roles, Douglas Graham and Janene Lovullo, do not measure...
...pick up revealing microexpressions as brief as one twenty-fourth of a second. "Liars," he says, "usually do not monitor, control and disguise all of their behavior." Ekman's lessons come with one large caveat: even the best liar catchers cannot be right 100% of the time. The ear tugger, the evasive rambler and the fellow who refuses to look you in the eye may be lying, but they may instead be fidgety truth tellers who are afraid of being accused of deceit. The person who rubs his nose every 30 seconds may be dissembling, or he may simply...
