...director Rebecca L. Eshbaugh ’07 and I only had fourteen days between the end of Common Casting and Opening Night, which is virtually unthinkable. Somehow we managed to create a really wonderful piece of theatre.” Unfortunately, Dorin felt somewhat constrained by the rigid dictates of the play’s script. “It was a good choice for a directorial debut, because Albee spells out a lot of details—B stands here, C says this line in this fashion—but it does make it harder to leave your...

The agreement will have to pass muster in the House of Representatives, which has been much less enthusiastic about the reforms - somewhat surprisingly, since the members of Congress closest to Abramoff were mainly House Republicans. New House Majority Leader John Boehner has pushed for a go-slow approach on the reforms, although he says the House will take them up over the next month. Boehner and House Speaker Dennis Hastert had publicly disagreed about a proposed ban on private travel, although Boehner has now suggested...
