...Parody, Satire, and Random Joke. In one minute-long exchange, three of the students list their current assignments in an attempt to decide who has the hardest schedule; militantly feministic Meredith (Sarah Meyers '02) wins with--among other things--a position paper on the "exploitation of the Chilean sea urchin." Billy (Amias Moore-Gerety '02) spews bad double-entendres with annoying regularity; after his girlfriends desert him, he perks up at thoughts of prefrosh virgins. When Al Gore-ish, IOP-loving Jack Canaday (James Benenson '02) discovers that Valerie (Jessica Kirshner '02) has been cheating on him, he whips...
...born and died in Italy, yet the influence on America of a grubby street urchin named Salvatore Lucania ranged from the lights of Broadway to every level of law enforcement, from national politics to the world economy.

Last week's opening-night audience, though, was outfitted in formal evening wear--1,800 exponents of money and glamour. It was just the sort of crowd Steve Wynn would like to see at his new hotel every night. So would the other high-rolling master builders in this high-desert fantasyland. Like an aging chorine who learns a little French and buys a Chanel frock in hopes of attracting...
...revered author of If on a winter's night a traveler and other classics of post-modern literature, began by writing neo-realistic stories of the Italian Resistance. In the recently retranslated and re-released The Path to the Spiders' Nests, Calvino tells the story of Pin, a street urchin. Pin, mischievous and impish and all those other cute things we expect of urchins, lives a difficult life. (This too we expect, although Pin's life has cruder aspects than most...
