...Summer Theater (HRST). For the past three months, an intrepid team of undergraduate artisans has entertained the greater Boston community (and those few souls unable to seasonally escape our hallowed halls). In their efforts they drew upon British wordsmith Tom Stoppard, American literary (figuratively) giant Tennessee Williams and Dale Wasserman's musical classic Man of La Mancha...
Harvard-Radcliffe Summer Theater (HRST) has begun their season with an appropriately light piece, Dale Wasserman's "Man of la Mancha," an upbeat musical retelling of Cervantes' Don Quixote...

People like Wasserman were multimillionaires before they got into politics. McAuliffe has done it the other way, using his political contacts to become a multimillionaire. In 1995 he acquired a bankrupt home-building business in Orlando, Fla., with the help of American Financial Corp. after soliciting its owner, Carl Lindner, for the D.N.C...
