Haviland, the Harvard ace, tossed all ten frames in what is supposed to be a seven-inning contest, allowing one earned run over 149 pitches. With a crisp fastball pounding down-and-in and his usual knee-buckling curve, he struck out six while allowing just six hits and three walks...
...long-stemmed wine glasses, complementing tall bottles of Merlot, plates piled with Jarlsberg and Brie, and the gray-tinted chalkboard—not what one would expect on a typical Wednesday night at Harvard Law School (HLS). But for the members of In Vino Veritas, it was business as usual.“Okay, guys, we’re going to get started,” third-year law student Tom Brown, who led the wine-tasting that evening, says, clinking together two tall water bottles. Background chatter died out as the members, still students in the truest Harvard sense...
...deserted farmhouse and a few frames of rampaging cattle. “Steady, As She Goes” is allusive and beautifully shot, but it lacks the whimsical playfulness of The White Stripes’ best videos.

The real problem is the tyranny...
...design (Kathleen E. Breeden ’09 and Sally H. Rinehart ’09) included Antiques Roadshow banners, a fancy living room, and a conventionally insipid backstage dressing room. The set for the red, decadent bar scene was especially attractive. With 22 cast members, the larger-than-usual cast for Freshman Musicals was extremely effective. Although some characters had minimal roles, every cameo was well-delivered and provided relief from an otherwise insistently serious plot. The most glaring defect of the production, however, was the awkward relationship between the Agassiz, the orchestra and the singers. The five-person...
