...Keefe says. Those who come and celebrate with HRDC this weekend will have an opportunity to see the unique structure of this student-run program.ALIVE AND WELLThe centerpiece of this weekend’s Centennial Celebration is HRDC’s 2008 Visiting Director Project, “The Hyacinth Macaw: A Lullaby for the 20th Century.” Underneath the linguistic complexity of “The Hyacinth Macaw”—which opens today at the Loeb—is a rather simple account of an American family and the changes ordinary people in unusual...

Evidently so: Out of Asia goods are carried in ?lite stores and mass-market chains in Europe and the U.S., among them Macy's and Harrods.
