...entire poem, the Milton marathon included a re-enactment of the climactic moment when Adam, played by Benjamin M. Woodring, who is in his first year of the English PhD program, and Eve, played by Danielle C. Kijewski ’11, eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adorned with loincloths and fig-leaves, they made resounding crunches from apples for added emphasis. Over the course of the night, the nearly two dozen participants whittled down to the eight remaining iron-willed members. These poetic marathoners, after journeying from Man?...
...Young Fred had been his parents' joy until little Nick came along. They immediately found constant fault with Fred, even as they cheered everything the baby did: giving away his presents to needier kids, jumping down a chimney, chopping down a fir tree that his big brother happened to be perched in. Momma Claus (Kathy Bates) is the same kind of ego-destroyer as Steve Carell's mother is in Dan in Real Life.

The Dantesque orange glow bathing the entire scene imparted a netherworld aura to the image and gave me the uncomfortable feeling that there was no escape. I was arrested by a stark sense of the anguish and loss...
...where it is expected to have an easier time. Pelosi and Schwab came to an agreement on the Peruvian and Panamanian Free Trade treaties after some labor and environmental standards were added in. Peru has moved to enact these requirements, making it the most likely to pass muster with tree huggers and union lovers. But experts say there is little chance the other three - Colombia, South Korea and Panama (which has not yet passed laws similar to Peru's) - will see any action this year or next. And it is likely that they will have to be substantially rewritten...
