...which he has converted into a small forest with a few pine trees and some rabbits, where he can relive his days as a great hunter and sportsman. Never has an unseen room been so important to a play, for here also resides the wild duck, shot in the wing and brought up from "the depths of the sea," now tenderly cared for by Hedvig, Hjalmer's 14-year-old daughter. The wild duck (which also remains unseen) becomes the central symbol of the play--for Hedvig, for Hjalmer, and for the Ekdal family as a whole. Into this tranquil...
Petruccelli skillfully handled the team's offense from midfield. Only four minutes after Petruccelli entered the game, he found an open McLaughlin on the left wing. McLaughlin streaked up the left side of the field, forcing Hickey to come out and block his shot. The play was vintage Harvard men's soccer...
...Mueller's misfortune to be part of the 52nd Fighter Wing, the outfit that mistakenly downed two U.S. Army helicopters over Iraq in 1994, killing 26 people.

The move angered U.N. members as a blatant sop to election-year criticisms from right-wing Republicans. Third World sensitivities have been trampled, and allies are annoyed they weren't consulted. Others are furious at U.S. cheek in dictating choices when it owes the U.N. $1.5 billion...
...privately-issued P.R. statement, which was faxed to The Crimson some two weeks ago. Campion says the IOP's role in the event would be to provide space and "work closely with students" to make sure that the event "is something that works in the forum." I guess right-wing rhetoric works well in the forum. If Harvard Democrats or the Black Students Association wanted to do forum events, Campion notes that the IOP would host those as well. We'll see if the K-School ends up hosting the conservatives-only panel discussion, or if the leadership has second...
