...Although the committee will be charting unknown waters as it prepares to allocate the Trust's funds, Lewis says the group is actually the successor body of the Harvard College Women's Initiative. That initiative took shape from an informal group of undergraduates Lewis assembled called the "Women's Working Group...
...Miami. "The next leader of Cuba will be from Cuba, not Miami," she says. "There are people there we need to start reaching out to." Freyre concedes that trading with Castro, now 73, could prop him up in the short run. More important, she insists, is ensuring that his successor is market- and democracy-minded. And since Castro blames the embargo for worsening Cuba's moribund economy--a cover for his own socialist blunders and human-rights abuses--why not take away his alibi?

...first incarnation, this revue, mounted off-Broadway in 1993, suffered from comparison with its predecessor, the plotless Side by Side by Sondheim, which was a joyful feast of the composer's best songs.

FM recently caught up with a few past student government presidents (you know, it wasn't always called the Undergraduate Council), figured out what they're doing now and discussed their experiences while in office...
...long time had little use for George W. Bush. A media consultant based in Austin, Texas, McKinnon had toiled for Democratic candidates for years, and once he nearly took a job with Bill Clinton. In 1990 he helped Ann Richards become Texas Governor, and he regarded her successor with partisan suspicion. But McKinnon, 44, was won over after a dinner with Bush in 1997. He went to work producing the TV ads for the Governor's landslide re-election campaign in 1998, and is now running Bush's media campaign for President. McKinnon's party switch still appalls many Democratic...
