...find that I am romanticizing my reaction to "The Coast of Utopia." The trilogy is perhaps an hour, perhaps a play, too long. But I know why I am in a mood to wave away what I might have considered its excesses and obscurities. I just realized that the play is closing today, and may never be performed again (though a New York visit has been discussed). It is as if a dear friend, who had enthralled and exasperated me, who talked so fast and stayed so long, were suddenly reported absent, or missing, or lost at sea. Would...
...streaks into the end zone. You may think the problem finished, but physics roars back with a vengeance and dictates that this is where things actually just start to get interesting.

On one of her first days in the classroom, she was introduced as “Ms. Ricketts,” and her reaction was, “Oh no! I’m not used to anyone calling me that.” Liana R. Tuller ’99 remembers one instance when she’d told a student of hers at Charlestown High School to turn off his Eminem...
