...while we are encouraged that Summers brings a strong political voice to Harvard, we know little of the position that he intends to articulate to the nation and the world. As the nation's most prestigious university, Harvard cannot afford to be silent on major educational issues. As a vocal and active institution, the University also has a role to play on the national political stage. Summers should take advantage of the bully pulpit that the Harvard presidency offers, but in doing so he should consider the political views of the members of the university community...
...nothing really takes the place of a good yarn, and that's where this production truly shines. If any playwright should be performed in a pub, it's McPherson. You need to see the contours of his characters' faces at close range and hear every one of their vocal inflections spoken only a few feet away from you. J.

In 1997 producer Vince Gilligan conceived an episode around the three; another followed the next season. Eventually Carter, Gilligan and two other X-Files producers sold...
...Survivor" watchers having tuned in for blood, the most savage thing we saw was Jerri's sex drive, not so neatly sublimated into a raw and anguished craving for chocolate. Chocolate in bars, chocolate in mint-filled patties, chocolate poured over "some hot guy's bod" in a very vocal fantasy that would have been titillating were it not for the sight of Jerri's lupine countenance. (Colby's response: "I may be a lot of things, but I ain't no Hershey bar.") Before our eyes, Queen Jerri turned into a Dorian Gray of all-purpose hunger as Ogakor...
