...actors were all convincing and had good voices, but many of them, especially the males, suffered from a lack of projection, so that some songs were lost to the audience. Sompong has mastered an air of anxiety and uncomfortableness, but his voice wasn't strong enough to express his talent to the entire audience. Similarly, Marks managed to seem genuinely upset when his wife left him, though the audience couldn't quite understand the words he was singing...
School officials and cadets, including many of the 25 women who had been present, complained about Blanchard's poor taste. Three days after the dinner, Stillman called Blanchard to express formally the academy's displeasure. Within hours, Blanchard faxed a letter of apology to the academy, where he taught political science from 1977 to 1981. "Us old sea dogs need to adapt," he conceded, "and change the way we have always done things." With the letter, Blanchard and Stillman thought the subject was closed...
Perhaps we should not judge Lisa Hathaway's stoic reaction to her daughter's tragic, untimely death. But when Hathaway states that emotion is unnatural and untruthful, we have to wonder whether Jessica had the "freedom and choice" to express fear or lack of confidence before taking off in the thin, storm-tossed air of Cheyenne, Wyoming.

...distressed to note that several of our colleagues at the College can find no better way to express their disagreement with the views of Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield '53 on affirmative action than to hold disruptive and hollow protests ("Students Gather to Protest Views of Mansfield," News, April 26, 1996). I often disagree with Mr. Mansfield's views on contemporary social and political issues, but I also know that he is a distinguished scholar who is happy to discuss his opinions with interested students. Such discussion is precisely why it is valuable to have such a superb...
