Long before Andrew Lohse became a pariah at Dartmouth College , he was just another scarily accomplished teenager with lofty ambitions. Five feet 10 with large blue eyes and the kind of sweet-faced demeanor that always earned him a pass, he grew up in the not-quite-rural, not-quite-suburban, decidedly middle-class town of Branchburg, New Jersey, and attended a public school where he made mostly A’s, scored 2190 on his SATs and compiled an exhaustive list of extracurricular activities that included varsity lacrosse, model U.N. (he was president), National Honor Society, band, orchestra, Spanish club, debate and – on weekends – a special pre-college program at the Manhattan School of Music, where he received a degree in jazz bass. He also wrote songs; gigged semiprofessionally at restaurants throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut; played drums for a rock band; chased, and conquered, numerous girls; and by his high school graduation, in 2008, had reached the pinnacle of … [Read more...] about Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy: Inside Dartmouth’s Hazing Abuses

Appointing a credible, non-partisan Jan. 6 commission should not be difficult
After violent national tragedies — such as Pearl Harbor, the Kennedy assassination, and 9/11 — blue ribbon, bipartisan commissions are named to assemble facts, assign culpability and offer preventive protections against subsequent acts of violence. It has been more than 100 days since a mob assaulted the Capitol in a violent attempt to prevent congressional certification of a presidential election. Proposals for a commission — offered right after the carnage, by Republicans and Democrats alike — have bogged down in partisan sniping. Therefore, Congress should promptly pass legislation authorizing the president to appoint a commission, equally divided between Republicans and Democrats and subject to a veto of either House. ADVERTISEMENT “A commission is really necessary and logical,” says Tom Kean, the former congressman and Republican governor of New Jersey who headed the 9/11 Commission. “Congress seems incapable of doing anything bi-partisan. There are important questions … [Read more...] about Appointing a credible, non-partisan Jan. 6 commission should not be difficult

The ‘feral’ childhood and dangerous sex appeal of Helen McCrory whose greatest role was motherhood, writes ALISON BOSHOFF
Dazzling on stage and bewitchingly good fun off it, Helen McCrory will be best remembered by many for her small-screen turn as the terrifying matriarch Aunt Polly in the BBC drama Peaky Blinders, or as the equally striking Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter films. Yet it was the theatre that was her true domain. Her award-winning Medea at the National in 2014 was hailed as ‘electrifying’ and career-defining, her ‘formidability and vulnerability are brilliantly entwined,’ according to one awe-struck reviewer. As Lady Macbeth she was ‘icily intimate’ with a ‘powerful whisper that vibrates with menace’, while as Hester Collyer in The Deep Blue Sea she gave a ‘commanding portrayal of a woman exhausted by unreciprocated desire’. Helen McCrory’s life was lived at full tilt —whether on stage, in front of cameras or at home in North London as wife and mother McCrory was married to Damian Lewis (pictured), two years her junior and an actor who has established a … [Read more...] about The ‘feral’ childhood and dangerous sex appeal of Helen McCrory whose greatest role was motherhood, writes ALISON BOSHOFF
