Epps explained that this action was organized a few weeks in advance by the "Chinese Association of Boston," the Chinese embassy and others. They originally wanted to have the children in front of the entrance to Memorial Hall. Epps says Harvard thought this would be "unfair" and as a "compromise" offered them the officially closed territory of Gund Hall. What remains puzzling is why Harvard had to reach a compromise with these groups against its own proclaimed rules...
...loophole, or that his stock would completely deflate. He's a respected hotel owner-operator who has already cut a $1.6 billion deal for Westin Hotels and has franchise agreements with major chains, including Hilton. It's not even clear that Starwood's structure gives him an unfair edge. Bollenbach says it does; Sternlicht says it doesn't.

If anything, mediocrity is more obvious when the potential exists for a brilliant night of theater. Angels in particular--with its large cast, its tricky, complex script, and its logistical nightmares of sound, stage and light effects--raises the stakes for success remarkably high. What we experience at the Loeb, then, is the transporting magic of talented dramatists giving the play, and the audience, everything they have. Those...
