By Ben Oren | March 6, 1997

To the Editor: Over last weekend, John Hart '75 was here showing his film "Drunks," which he produced because it captured "the New England town meeting," a place where anyone could speak and expect the group to listen to their every word, scrutinizing and mulling over what was said. Perhaps, as he suggested, "this [place] never truly existed" in old New England, but Hart's greatest accomplishment is that he managed to foster this community while he was here.

Mann, the Magician

By Abiola Lapite | February 27, 1997

It has recently been my opportunity to have undergone a truly sublime experience, an experience so fateful in its implications and so richly productive that I feel myself duty bound to communicate, or at least try to communicate, something of the flavor of this experience to my fellow students; I encountered the genius of Thomas Mann's fiction. I imagine that there are a good many individuals out there, not all of whom are irredeemable bottom-feeders, who might be a bit nonplused as to why they should find my enthusiasm for Thomas Mann's writing of any relevance to themselves.
