The first time “Zeitgeist” showed up in my inbox, I almost ignored it. It was my first year at Middlebury, and the word meant nothing to me. But I clicked the link out of curiosity. As I read through the questions, I was struck by how different they felt from the ones institutions usually ask. They reflected the kind of questions and conversations I was having with my close friends.

For student-athletes, Athletics staff, and regular gym-goers alike, the Peterson Family Athletics Complex is a daily fixture, but notably far from the college’s main dining hubs.

Quinn has since overlapped with six college presidents, and in his time as Athletic Director alone, Middlebury has earned 69 NESCAC team titles, 19 NCAA team championships and 29 NCAA individual titles. Now, at the end of this academic year, Quinn will conclude his 41 years with the college.
There’s a moment in “The Last Waltz” that comes at about the 34 minute and 53 second mark, at the onset of the last chorus in Neil Young’s performance of “Helpless,” which a friend of mine once singled out, when we were arguing the film’s best scenes, as a jib door to transcendence. He was listening to the recording of that performance one time — alone, outside in the snow, through headphones (did it help that he was under a certain kind of influence?) — and that moment was what took him there, he said. I knew what he was talking about. The verse is ending when Young looks sideways at The Band’s Robbie Robertson and Rick Danko, then looks again, and then, grinning, joins them at their microphone, while Joni Mitchell — somewhere off-stage, glimpsed in silhouette by Martin Scorsese’s camera moments before — finds the wild, wordless current of a high note and rides it above them all as Levon Helm tumbles into his symbol and the crowd’s shouted affection gathers to a crest and, for a few seconds, one collective sound of holy abandon rises out of that perfect chorus of three chords and a one-word refrain to level you.
Ryan Murphy’s newest drama has everything a fan of his would expect – dramatic storylines, heavy extremes and any opportunity to invoke his key “baroque” style. “Love Story: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette” is a nine-part series about the high-profile marriage of John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly) and Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon) through their meeting in 1990s New York City, their intimate wedding in Cumberland Island, Georgia and the tragic plane crash off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard resulting in both of their deaths.
