Progressives at Harvard could take a page from the Berkeley playbook. Hundreds of people backing each other's causes is more impressive than small handfuls at isolated candlelight vigils and demonstrations. In that vein, the Rally for Justice in March was an important step. Conservatives criticized the rally which linked the Progressive Students Labor Movement, the Coalition against Sexual Violence and the Living Wage Campaign, for bringing together causes that had nothing in common. But it's no accident that the Rally for Justice made CNN and The New York Times and brought students' complaints to the fore...
Saint Etienne are beautiful. Repeatedly, consistently and achingly beautiful. After brandishing a decidedly pop wand in last year's Good Humor, Pristine chanteuse Sarah Cracknell, understated pop priestess in the vein of Diana Ross, returns with gifted nerd musicians Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs to make more of that astro-optimistic music for waxing reminiscent over good old days that never were.

In the opening scene and when interacting with Creon she is almost like a rebellious teenager, nervous but defiant in the face of adult authority; though her battles have higher stakes than the average adolescent's. In a more humorous vein, B.J. Novak '01 is quite funny as a Union soldier--perhaps the original "bearer of bad news"--who stutteringly informs Creon of her Confederate nephew's burial. He later eagerly delivers Antigone to Creon, declaring his innocence in the burial as he does...
