...million budget shortfall for the fiscal year 2005, has already laid off 14 workers, and several more are scheduled for the end of June. Protesting in a Thursday afternoon rally outside the Holyoke Center, members of the No Layoffs Campaign (NLC) sought to depict the administration as callous and cruel. In that vein, Progressive Student Labor Movement (PSLM) veteran Daniel DiMaggio ’04 charged that Harvard was “a corporate money-making machine.” Some NLC members, apparently unaware of the irony, vented their righteous anger by chanting, “Lay off, Larry...
...tended to dwell on the production’s “dark” and “eerie” aspects, commenting on the vast, gray, sooty wasteland of a set—bare except for three yawning graves—and remarking on how mean and callous the lovers sound as they snipe and push each other around the stage.

He has kept listeners engaged all these years not with his humility but with a relaxed Brooklyn baritone that makes him sound a bit like a ghetto Sinatra (callous but with enviable style). His upbringing has also made fans a little more sympathetic about his avarice. Born Shawn Carter, Jay-Z grew up in Brooklyn's infamous Marcy projects, shot his brother in an argument at age 12, hit the streets to sell drugs soon after, dodged some bullets at close range...
