As U.S. District Judge Freda Wolfson prepared to consider The Princeton Battlefield Society’s (PBS) motion for an injunction to halt construction activity on the site of proposed Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) housing, two British military heritage organizations entered the longstanding controversy. The U.K. Battlefields Trust and the Royal Tigers’ Association (the veterans organization of the Royal Leicestershire Regiment) joined forces with the Save Princeton Coalition, an alliance of conservation and historic preservation organizations which includes PBS, in urging the Institute to reconsider its housing project plans and to explore other possible locations. The federal court hearing, which will include arguments from both the Battlefield Society and the Institute for Advanced Study as to whether construction should be temporarily halted, is scheduled for Wednesday, June 22 in Trenton.

Kiser Leaves Legacy of “Going Above and Beyond”
Come July, you might find Princeton’s municipal engineer Bob Kiser driving a tractor across the fields of a farm he owns in Hunterdon County. Mr. Kiser is retiring next week after 33 years on the job, and he is looking forward to spending time with his family — especially his six-anda-half-month-old granddaughter — and cutting the grass with that tractor. “It relaxes me,” Mr. Kiser said during an interview in his Witherspoon Hall office overlooking Route 206 this past Monday. “I grew up on a farm, so I feel comfortable in that setting.” If Mr. Kiser has ever felt less than comfortable in his job shepherding numerous development projects through the many stages that are often involved, he hasn’t let on. His calm demeanor is among the many qualities for which colleagues are praising him as his final week approaches. “Bob has been an excellent engineer, always going the extra mile for Princeton residents and totally unflappable,” commented Princeton Council member Jenny Crumiller, in an email. Councilwoman Heather Howard wrote, “In my years work-
ing with him, he always had a positive attitude about even the thorniest challenges, and made every resident feel like they were his most important priority.” Councilman Bernie Miller commented, “As an engineer, if I were to write a specification for the job of municipal engineer, the specification would describe the personality and all of the skills embodied in our municipal engineer, Bob Kiser.” Councilman Patrick Simon wrote, “Particularly important is his personal presence, the sense that you can trust him to get the job done right. The many awards and
accolades he has received over the past year reflect his great skill and many accomplishments.” Characteristically modest about his reputation, Mr. Kiser said, “The nice thing about engineering is that our challenge is just to get things done. There isn’t a need for us to get in the fray, so we don’t.” But Mr. Kiser admits there have been challenges over the years. The AvalonBay housing project, which is nearing completion just up Witherspoon Street from his Continued on Page 12
Gillett Griffin, Teacher, Collector, Artist, Left Huge Legacy, Tangible, and Intangible The legacy of Gillett Griffin, who died on June 6 at the age of 87, was vast and eclectic. And that’s just the tangible legacy. (A full obituary appears on page 31.) Only two weeks ago, shortly before his death, he gave to the Historical Society of Princeton from his personal collection more than 50 photographs, manuscript items, sculptures, books, newspaper clippings, personal possessions and ephem-
era related to Albert Einstein — who was a personal friend of Mr. Griffin from 1953 until Einstein’s death in 1955. Mr. Griffin’s gifts to the Princeton University Art Museum, where he was curator of Pre-Columbian and Native American Art emeritus, having retired in 2005 after 38 years as curator, number in the thousands — making him “principally responsible for Continued on Page 8
Howard Simmons, chair of the Battlefields Trust, cited in his letter to the Institute the historical importance of the Princeton Battlefield site and warned that “developing this area will destroy the archeological potential of the site, damage the setting of the battlefield and make it much harder for future generations to interpret the momentous events that took place there.” The IAS is moving forward with construction of 15 housing units on their seven acres. Though not available for comment at press time, the Institute recently reiterated its commitment to proceeding with the project, stating that it has acquired “all the necessary regulatory approvals and has been thorough in addressing and accommodating concerns of the public and preservation issues.” —Donald Gilpin

When fans of tango travel to foreign countries, it doesn’t take them long to locate kindred spirits. There are tango communities all over the world. Princeton boasts its own active group, Viva Ta ngo I nc., wh ich meets regularly at the Suzanne Patterson Center to learn new dance steps, hear music, and socialize. “Tango is a very friendly

dance, a very social thing that’s taken off worldwide,” said Dennis Matthies, a retired physicist who is active in the group. “Twenty years ago, there weren’t that many places you could go and find it. Now, it’s in almost any city. We have members who have gone to Russia, Europe, Thailand, and other places on vacation and found tango. When I go on vacation, I go to a city and walk in to a tango group, and they’re very happy to have an outside visitor.”

Then, the follower gets clues from movement Wrench Bottle of the leader’s chest and Opener shoulders and pressure in the arm. She senses, and reacts.” Tango has been popular in Princeton since a group of Princeton University graduate students organized a tango club in 1998. Mr. Matthies, an alumnus, was on a committee that funded social events. It was through helping the club that he got hooked on tango. That club is still in operation, but Viva Tango Inc., a separate group By most accounts, Ar- that meets at the Suzanne www.princetonmagazinestore.com gentine tango originated in Continued on Next Page 19th-century brothels and portrayed the relationship between a prostitute and her pimp. But over the decades, the dance has come to represent something more glamorous and elegant. The male dancer still dominates and the female follows, but the tango of today appeals to a much wider audience and is more accessible than some might assume. “People think tango is harder than the other dances, but it’s not,” Mr. Matthies said. “It’s free form. It is very different for men and for women, or leaders and followers.” A description of tango in the British publication International Business Times describes it like this: “Tango is playing chess, having a work-out, being on a date, traveling through space and time, discovering a foreign culture, going to a concert, and exploring one’s creativity … all at the same time. Does it sound complicated?” It isn’t, the description goes on to say. “It is best described as having a warm conversation with very close friends. The biggest misconception in tango is that the man ‘decides’ and the lady ‘executes’ — in fact, the man’s role is to make the lady shine on the dance floor, so all his attention is put towards this goal. It is therefore a truly selfless act.” p e t i t e p av é c o l l e c t i o n Mr. Matthies explains the style. “The leader has to decide what he’s doing. He can’t just go out there and expect the follower to do anything. The follower has to have reactions. It’s not like fixed steps and routines. It’s walking and turning.

These are known, world-class performers.” Mr. Matthies credits Viva Tango Inc. president David Kalmus as the heart of the organization. “He does the vast majority of the labor of buying the food, setting up, and end-of-event cleaning up 12 months a year,” Mr. Matthies said. “He is assisted by a small group of dedicated helpers.” While most people attend the gatherings to dance, some come just to watch and listen to the music. “People drawn to tango are atypical,” Mr. Matthies said. “They tend to be diverse and extremely accomplished in their areas of exper tise. Many discussions go on during the evening.” As for the actual dancing, “The hard part is to make it look graceful,” Mr. Matthies said. “It takes some time to do that. But we enjoy the process.” —Anne Levin

Question of the Week:
“What improvements would you like to see on Nassau Street?”
(Asked at Garden Theatre event on proposed improvements) (Photographs by Emily Reeves)
“Sidewalk areas need to be improved; they have been in place here for close to 30 years. It’s time to have uniform design treatments along the street.” —Bob Kiser, Princeton Municipal Engineer
Charlie: “I think most of the items that they have identified to improve are all worth great consideration. There are some great ideas and I look forward to many of them being implemented.” Shelly: “I think anything that enhances and encourages use of bicycles is good. I like benches that face each other so people can communicate. I also would like more outdoor dining.” —Charlie and Shelly Yedlin, Princeton
“I’m not necessarily looking for improvements. But I’d love to have a palette, so as we make improvements, we’re able to pick and make a coherent vision throughout the whole street. There’s no way we’re going to be able to do it all at one time. It would be nice to have a plan and then we can select benches when we’re ready.” —Marc Dashield, Princeton Administrator
“Doing something about the newspaper corrals. I also think the benches are a good idea. I think they should match and be face to face so you can sit and have a conversation. The landscaping and the trees are really in bad shape. Also, getting rid of the parking meters and getting into the ticket system like they have down at the Dinky station. Most cities in the country have ticket parking systems.” —Gordon and Jenni Griffin, Princeton
“Enhanced landscaping that ties in with the existing planted baskets.” —John Marshall, Princeton Merchants Association
“Dedicated bicycle lanes. Lanes must be on both sides of the road so the direction of bicycles is the same as vehicular traffic.” —Mike Suber, Princeton
Princeton residents can now keep up to date on crime in their neighborhoods, examining crime trends right along with police officials. The Princeton Police Department (PPD) is presenting an online crime map called RAIDS Online (www. raidsonline.com) that maps and analyzes crime data, informs Princeton citizens of crimes in their area, and allows the police to quickly alert the public as crimes occur. BAIR Analytics, a LexisNexis company, has offered R AIDS Online and the RAIDS Online Mobile app free to law enforcement agencies that wish to participate “to help law enforcement in these tough economic times.” “I think this is the future of how citizens are kept up to date on crimes,” PPD Chief Nick Sutter stated. RAIDS Online “will raise citizens’ awareness. It’s the best way to get the message out in terms of safety. People in the community will communicate with neighbors and make sure the doors are locked, the lights are on and information is shared. We
want to protect the safety of our community.” Mr. Sutter described the new technology as “a great service to the community. Citizens can get real time information on all reported crimes in Princeton.” RAIDS Online helps to fulfill an element of the PPD strategic plan, which calls for increased community involvement and transparency. The online program will allow Princeton residents to view a map which includes recent crimes in their area and basic information about the incidents, including the type of crime, location, date, and time. They can also sign up for neighborhood watch reports and submit anonymous tips about crimes. The RAIDS Online Mobile app is available for free at the App Store. The Princeton crime map can be accessed from the Crime Mapping link on the PPD website at www.princetonnj.gov/police/RAIDS.html, or directly on the RAIDS Online website at www.raidsonline or through the PPD Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ princetontwppolice. —Donald Gilpin

Gillett Griffin continued from page one
having shaped for Princeton what is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest collections of the art of the ancient Americas,” according to museum director James Steward. Mr. Griffin’s contributions to the Princeton University Library Graphic Arts Collection, where he was curator from 1952 to 1966, include the creation of “what would become one of the great university collections in graphic arts and the history of the book, using his personal
assemblage of books and prints as the nucleus,” according to a recent article by Rebecca Warren Davidson published by the Princeton University Art Museum. Enumerations of his remarkable gifts, also including Mr. Griffin’s collection of children’s books published before 1846, now housed at the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, could go on and on, but even more impressive than the tangible legacy is the intangible one. His influence on generations of students, scholars, and friends, on the whole field
“A FERVENT WILLINGNESS TO EXPLORE AND WONDER:” Gillett Griffin, teacher, artist, collector who died on June 9, inspired countless students, colleagues and friends and made an indelible mark on the world of pre-Columbian art history and culture in America. (Photo Courtesy of Princeton University Art Museum)
of pre-Columbian art and history, was immeasurable. “Perhaps his most im por tant quality was that he brought people together — scholars, collectors, friends,” stated Alfred L. Bush, retired curator of Western Americana at the University Librar y and a friend and colleague of Mr. Griffin since 1958. “He had enormous enthusiasm and an extraordinar y eye for pre-Columbian art.” Mr. Bush, who encouraged Mr. Griffin to go to Mexico for the first time in 1966, when they were colleagues in the library graphic arts department, also aided Mr. Griffin’s move to the Art Museum in 1968. “He loved to excite students about art,” Mr. Bush added, mentioning noteworthy scholars and collectors who had come under Mr. Griffin’s influence. Mr. Bush went on to describe a memorable gesture that characterized Mr. Griffin’s imaginative and spirited personality: “Anybody who went to his house on Stockton Street, the first time you went there you were allowed to drink from a Greek cup from the fifth century B.C.” Matthew Robb, a 1994 Princeton graduate and former student of Mr. Griffin who was recently appointed chief curator of the Fowler Museum at the University of California-Los Angeles, recalled, “Gillett was so generous and what I’d call democratic — he treated undergraduates and senior scholars with the same enthusiastic welcome and respect. Princeton could seem a little stuffy at times; parties at Gillet’s home made it a special place, a kind of refuge for creative individu-
als and those who might find themselves as outsiders. So it’s no surprise that he had such great friendships with similarly outgoing and adventurous scholars like Linda Schele. No idea was too outlandish — there was a kind of fervent willingness to explore and wonder about things.” When asked in a recent interview with the UCLA Daily Bruin how he became interested in becoming a curator, Mr. Robb responded, “I had this great professor when I was an undergraduate. He was a curator at a university museum. His name was Gillett Griffin. He was a really big influence on me. His work was what attracted me to working museums, that mix of doing both research and education. He had this interest in the ancient Americas and in ancient Mexico in particular, and I really just followed his footsteps.” John Burkhalter, independent scholar and Princeton musician, who knew Mr. Griffin for more than 40 years and visited him frequently in the summers in Colrain, Massachusetts where Mr. Griffin owned an 18th-century house, described him as a great mentor. “He was always opening doors,” Mr. Burkhalter stated. “‘If you can’t get in the front door,’ he would say, ‘go in the back door or go down the chimney.’ He was very big in the art world and totally modest, always interested in his friends and their interests. If there was one word for Gillett it was ‘loyal.’ He was devoted to his friends.” Mr. Burkhalter and Mr. Gillett collaborated on “Music from the Land of the Jaguar,” a 2004 exhibit on
pre-Columbian and Mayan art and music at the Princeton Art Museum. “He loved music,” Mr. Burkhalter described. “Until his final illness I would go over and play music at his house. He was a huge influence on my life. I can’t imagine having gotten to this point in my life without him.” Noting Mr. Griffin’s ext raord inar y accomplish ments as a collector, Mr. Burkhalter added, “He loved the idea that these objects would be the subject of serious scrutiny for scholars and students for many years into the future. He was so much fun. He used to say, ‘Thank God I was buying these things before the Antiques Road Show.’ He was like my honorary uncle. I was his honorary nephew. He left a huge, huge legacy.” Bryan Just, another grateful student of Mr. Griffin’s and his successor as curator in the Art of Ancient Americas at the University Museum, continued weekly meetings with his mentor, even after Mr. Griffin’s retirement. Mr. Just emphasized the important precedent established by Mr. Griffin of combining curatorial work with teaching. “Gillett possessed a wealth of knowledge about aesthetic and historical questions. He had an incredible network of colleagues and acquaintances in the field— scholars, many former students. He had an incredible memory for the field and for all the key players in the world of pre-Columbian American Art.” HIghlighting Mr. Griffin’s advocacy for the creative arts at Princeton Univer-
sity, Ms. Davidson, in her article on Mr. Griffin and the graphic arts, described his most valuable legacy as “the ability to bring people together and to foster the resulting happy alliances.” She elaborated, “Gillett appears in the guise of an ordinary, amiable fellow, but also inhabits another world, one rich in fantasy, art, and theatrical good humor, all of which — even more remarkably — he is willing to share with everyone he meets. An encounter with Gillett always increases one’s knowledge and understanding of one of the many topics on which he is an expert. At the same time, it is also an ‘occasion’ and a reminder that serious subjects may be leavened with a dash of lightheartedness, and liberally spiced with the puns and other wordplay for which Gillett is legendary.” —Donald Gilpin

“Oh Panama!” Exhibit Coming to the Michener
“AFGHAN GIRL”: This iconic photograph by Steve McCurry will be on display at the Michener Art Museum starting July 16 as part of the exhibit, “Unguarded, Untold, Iconic: Afghanistan through the Lens of Steve McCurry.”
Steve McCurry Photo Exhibit at Michener
In an exhibition that opens on July 16, 2016, the James A. Michener Art Museum will present a collection of photographs by Steve McCurry, the photographer whose iconic image “Afghan Girl” captivated the world in 1985. Offering thought-provoking perspectives on Afghan culture, food, religion, and history, the exhibition “Unguarded, Untold, Iconic: Afghanistan through the Lens of Steve McCurry” will include that photograph as well as dozens of others captured by McCurry in Afghanistan during the last 35 years. On view through October 23, 2016, the exhibition will also feature a selection of work from Imagine Asia’s Young Women’s Photography Initiative, illuminating women’s lives in Afghanistan, as well as a selection of rugs designed by Afghan women through Azru Studio Hope. “This striking exhibition invites our visitors of all ages to envision and understand daily life in a country where circumstances are dramatically, harshly different than here in Bucks County, Pennsylvania,” said Lisa Tremper Hanover, director and CEO of the Michener Art Museum. “We are very proud to present this globally themed exhibition of work by a renowned Philadelphia-born photographer that will most certainly invite personal contemplation as well as public dialogue.” “The work of Steve McCurry has resonated around the world for decades, sharpen-
ing our understanding of quotidian life and perilous situations of people in places that most Westerners never have the opportunity to visit,” said Kelsey Halliday Johnson, the Michener Art Museum’s curatorial fellow in photography and new media, who curated the “Unguarded, Untold, Iconic” exhibition along with Louise Feder, assistant curator. “This exhibition presents a chance to explore both new and familiar photographs from McCurry’s career-long connection with the complicated, diverse, and intriguing country of Afghanistan, which he was first drawn to after reading James Michener’s novel Caravans.” James A. Michener, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author for whom the Michener Art Museum is named, wrote the historical novel Caravans in 1963, when Afghanistan was inching towards war with the Soviet Union. Steve McCurry has said that reading the book was among the numerous prompts for his first trip to Afghanistan in 1979. Passages from Michener’s Caravans will be featured in the exhibition; this unique pairing will highlight a cultural narrative of how two leading figures from Southeastern Pennsylvania have contributed to crucial global understanding of Afghanistan in the second half of the 20th century. “Complementing the Unguarded, Untold, Iconic: Afghanistan through the Lens of Steve McCurry” exhibition will be a roundtable discussion with McCurry, a book signing with him, a lecture se-

Star ting June 25, t he James A. Michener Art Museum will present an exhibition highlighting the 1914 construction of the Panama Canal as told through the art of Jonas Lie. “Oh Panama!: Jonas Lie Paints the Panama Canal” recalls the determined and spirited efforts of the architects, engineers, and workers who accomplished the canal’s creation. The exhibition also celebrates the canal’s highly anticipated expansion of a new water lane, which is scheduled to open on June 26. The Norwegian-born painter Jonas Lie (1880-1940) was drawn early in his career to architectural subjects, and earned his reputation through his powerful renderings of New York and its icons of technological progress, such as the Brooklyn Bridge, the new skyscrapers, and the urban canyons they created. Inspired by an early color film documenting the construction of the canal, Lie was enthralled by the feats of engineering and the sublime visual qualities of the massive trench being carved across the Isthmus of Panama. He visited the Canal Zone for three months in 1913, and “Oh Panama!: Jonas Lie Paints the Panama Canal” presents his dramatic vision of the canal’s construction in 11 paintings on loan from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, as well as oil sketches, lithographs, and ephemera. The exhibition is co-curated by Jensen and Bartholomew Bland, former Deputy Director of the Hudson River Museum. Programming includes a curator’s lecture on Tuesday, September 13 at 1 p.m., and a guest lecture by Katherine E. Manthorne, PhD of the Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY) on Tuesday, September 27 at 1 p.m. “Oh Panama!: Jonas Lie Paints the Panama Canal” is organized by the Hudson River Museum and the Michener Art Museum.

PST Opens With Dark, Violent, and Timely “Assassins”: Song, Dance, Guns Galore in Offbeat Sondheim Musical
rinceton Summer Theater’s (PST) 2016 season opener, Assassins, is chilling in its timeliness. Just five days after a gunman assassinated 49 people in Orlando, the openingnight audience watched as nine characters — all wannabe assassins of U.S. Presidents — paraded across the Hamilton Murray stage, brandishing an array of firearms. As the nation mourns for the victims of Orlando and tries to understand the senseless violence, Stephen Sondheim’s (music and lyrics) and librettist John Weidman’s dark 1991 musical Assassins questions who these would-be killers from the past — from John Wilkes Booth to John Hinckley — were, where they came from, and what motivated them. In the style of a bouncy musical revue, Assassins jars with its ironic humor, its sardonic tone, and its fragmentary — sometimes realistic, sometimes fantastical — structure. It’s a pastiche of musical styles, in 17 different scenes, providing glimpses of these nine disturbed, angry, hopeful, fearful individuals, all outcasts of society, wanting to get even, wanting to grasp their moments of fame. They are, the musical points out, products of our troubled society and its politics. The German philosopher Immanuel Kant once wrote, “Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.” Assassins focuses on particularly gnarled and twisted representations of the human race. The views provided here by Mr. Sondheim and Mr. Weidman of these psychopaths as they prepare and carry out their destructive plans, are not deeply psychological or philosophical, nor are they particularly sympathetic. The show does, however, present the deranged thoughts, feelings, and voices of the “assassins” in a variety of contexts, some of which deliver unforgettable numbers, vignettes, sketches, and monologues. “Everybody’s got the right to be happy,” sings the proprietor (Jake McCready) of the fairground shooting gallery in the opening number as he provides a gun for each of the would-be assassins. “Hey, kid, failed your test? Dream girl unimpressed? Show her you’re the best. If you can shoot a president — you can get the prize,” he continues. “Don’t stay mad, life’s not as bad as it seems. If you keep your goal in sight, you can climb to any height. Everybody’s got the right to their dreams ….”
In the shadowy ambience of this carnival setting, with strings of lights above, a big target with a blue bullseye painted on the stage, and a brightly lit sign above the proscenium stating “SHOOTING GALLERY — Everyone’s a winner!!!” — the proprietor arms and encourages the motley assortment of misfits, ranging across more than a century of American history: Leon Czolgosz (Ryan Gedrich), assassin of William McKinley; John Hinckley (Christopher J. Beard), attempted assassin of Ronald Reagan; Charles Guiteau (Esteban Godoy), assassin of James Garfield; Giuseppe Zangara (Aksel Tang), attempted killer of Franklin D. Roosevelt; Samuel Byck (David Drew), attempted assassin of Richard Nixon; Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme ( Lily Davis) and Sara Jane Moore (Maeve Brady), attempted assassins of Gerald Ford; and John Wilkes Booth (Billy Cohen), murderer of Lincoln. (One additional killer does not appear until the surprising penultimate scene.) From 1865 to 1975, with dates and place names projected on the back screens, these characters appear in a range of settings, minimally suggested by Jeffrey Van Velsor’s spare, effectively simple set design. Many are locations where assassinations took place or were planned, with the last scene taking place in “Limbo,” where
the assassins gather for their final angry reflections on their circumstances. The show, with its nine protagonists and multiple settings across time and space, is intentionally disjointed, keeping its audience at a critical — sometimes amused, sometimes horrified, sometimes both at once — distance. Keeping track of who’s who and exactly what’s going on can be difficult at times, but reference points on the upstage screens and knowledge of American history are helpful. Fortunately this PST company — made up of recent Princeton University graduates, a couple of undergraduates, and several young New York professionals, all under the intelligent, seasoned direction of New York-based Tatiana Pandiani — is strikingly talented and capable. The 13 experienced performers work smoothly and effectively together, as the scenes flow rapidly, the different characters come across vividly and powerfully in all their eccentricities. Vocally and dramatically, the performances are consistently excellent. The full-cast production numbers, with interesting, engaging choreography by Inaki Baldassarre, are arresting and powerful in conveying the macabre tone of the production, most notably, “Everybody’s
Got the Right,” which begins and ends the show, and “Another National Anthem,” presenting the dark side of the American Dream, (“for those who never win, the ones who might have been, those who love regretting, those who like extremes, those who thrive on chaos and despair”). While Assassins does not feature Mr. Sondheim’s most memorable music, the score here is still memorable for its searing ironies and sardonic disconnects between melody and meaning. “Unworthy of Your Love,” for example, is a beautifully incongruous romantic ballad, as Ms. Davis’s “Squeaky” Fromme sings of her love for Charles Manson in a duet with Mr. Beard’s John Hinckley intoning his obsession with the unattainable Jodie Foster. In the unnerving “Gun Song,” Ms. Brady’s Sara Jane Moore joins Mr. Godoy’s Guiteau, Mr. Cohen’s Booth and Mr. Gedrich’s Czolgosz in an eerie barber shop quartet–style ode to their deadly weapons: “What a wonder is a gun! … and all you have to do is move your little finger and you can change the world.” On the keyboard, Vince di Mura, resident composer and music director for Princeton University’s Lewis Center, directs the four-piece, on-stage pit band with flair and precision. Technical director Van Velsor’s production team, with lighting by Alex Mannix, costumes by Keating Helfrich and sound by Joseph Haggerty, is first-rate, ingeniously complementing Ms. Pandiani’s fine production. Assassins will never be one of Mr. Sondheim’s best loved works. It received mixed reviews from the critics in its 1991 Off-Broadway debut, performed for soldout audiences and won five Tony Awards when it finally was revived on Broadway in 2004. Since then it has been produced with increasing frequency throughout the world. r. Weidman has described his disparate array of characters as “peculiarly American …. We live in a country where most cherished national myths encourage us to believe that in America our dreams not only can come true but should come true, and that if they don’t someone or something is to blame.” Not surprisingly, Assassins provides no answers, no solutions to the upsetting vision of America it presents — but it does leave audiences with much to think about. —Donald Gilpin

vocal roles which required supreme confidence to sing either unaccompanied or against accompaniment that is deliberately of no help harmonically. Unassuming in character, Mr. Richardson was sufficiently unkempt to resemble someone who had been at sea for a while, and sang richly with clear diction over a lush orchestra. Ms. Worra conveyed sympathy for Grimes in a voice which was light when necessary and especially soared over the orchestra in the opening to the second act, accompanied by a chanting offstage chorus. This couple was well matched, and at times controlled the score themselves without conductor or orchestral accompaniment. Several very strong characters were found in mezzo-soprano Eve Gigliotti, singing the role of Auntie, and the two nieces, sung by Jessica Beebe and Sharon Harms. Ms. Gigliotti possessed a powerful voice and an animated character, as she kept the other characters in line as keeper of the local tavern. The characters of the two nieces were comic relief in an otherwise dark opera, and Ms. Beebe and Ms. Harms were perfectly matched vocally. A quartet of Ms. Worra, Ms. Gigliotti, Ms. Beebe and Ms. Harms at the close of act two’s first scene was particularly strong. Strong male secondary leads included Stephen Gaertner ( Balstrode), Casey Finnigan (Bob Boles), and Joseph Barron (Swallow). Chorus master Gregory Geehern compiled a full-bodied chorus of strong operatic voices which was solid throughout, and added poignancy to an Act 2 beach scene and precision to a complex close to closing scenes in Acts 2 and 3. The Festival orchestra had its hands full, playing a lush score with precision and adeptness. The orchestral interludes of the opera (during which scenes were discreetly changed) effectively added to the visual effects created by set designer Jonathan Dahm Robertson and lighting designer Norman Coates with crisp rhythms and attention to Britten’s musical details; the brass in particular evoked images of the sea. Costumes designed by Marie Miller were appropriate for the time, and Steven LaCosse’s direction made good use of the multiple levels in the Matthews Theatre stage. rinceton Festival’s production of Peter Grimes is not for the faint of heart — the plot subject borders on the unsavory, and some of the underlying issues are uncomfortably close to questions in today’s society. However, the roster of singers is among the highest it has ever been with the Festival, and Britten’s opera is a story which should be told. —Nancy Plum

T
his season Princeton Festival has undertaken one of the most complex and challenging operas in the repertory with Benjamin Britten’s dark but poetic Peter Grimes. Like the World War II years in which the opera was composed, Peter Grimes has many levels, reaching back to 19th century morality while drawing on fears and suspicions still prevalent today. The date of the opera’s premiere, in London’s first few post-war months, makes the genesis of this work even more remarkable. In the early 1940s, Britten had been in the United States for several years when he came across late 18th-century English poet George Crabbe’s narrative poem The Borough. The fishing town described in the poem reminded Britten of his hometown Aldeburgh, also a seaside village on England’s east coast, and in 1942 he returned to England with a commission from the Koussevitsky Foundation in hand to compose an opera based on Crabbe’s poem. In the finished opera, the central character, fisherman Peter Grimes, remains an enigma to the rest of the residents in his sea village throughout the story. Was he a murderer or child abuser, or was he the victim of mob mentality over a tragedy gone even further wrong? With the lead character’s sanity always in question, Peter Grimes has a bit of Frankenstein, The Perfect Storm, a kangaroo court and a great deal of complexity, all of which was brought to life by the Princeton Festival in a production led by conductor Richard Tang Yuk which opened Saturday night at McCarter Theatre Center’s Matthews Theatre. Britten’s score for Peter Grimes is as intricate as its characters, with a musical style rooted in compositional conventions of the early 20th century while reaffirming the characters and plotlines. Britten did not write arias for this opera, but rather vocal soliloquies which were demanding in their lack of melodic anchors and their intervallic demands. The characters of Peter Grimes (sung by tenor Alex Richardson) and his love interest Ellen Orford (sung by soprano Caroline Worra) sang a duet at the end of the opening prologue addressing the predicament Grimes finds himself in, with each singer presenting an unaccompanied vocal line in opposite keys. Grimes’s solo lines continue to become more divergent with wide melodic intervals as the opera goes on, showing his gradual dissociation from the village. Mr. Richardson (who will be appearing with the Metropolitan Opera next season) and Ms. Worra each did not miss a beat in

• Sarah Perry on Friendship
Sarah Perry will talk about her fascination with the nature of friendship in Victorian Britain, especially the friendships formed by William Gladstone, Prime Minister, and Alfred Tennyson, poet.
• Andrew Nicoll on Politics
Andrew Nicoll will talk about what Scotland can tell us about the Trump effect. He will examine the polarization in Scottish public life to show what happens when those who believe themselves excluded find a banner to rally around.

The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry Set in Victorian London and an Essex village, and enlivened by the debates on scientific and medical discovery which defined the era, it has at its heart the story of two people, drawn together and torn apart. And the Land Lay Still by James Robertson
Nothing less than the story of a nation, it is a portrait of modern Scotland told through the eyes of natives, immigrants, journalists, politicians, and drop-outs, all making their way in a country in the throes of change.
Theodora by Stella Duffy In this novel, Empress Theodora of Constantinople rises from nothing to become the most powerful woman in Byzantine Rome, making her scandalous way from surviving on the street to seeking holiness in the desert.

CINEMA REVIEW
Central Intelligence
CIA Agent Enlists Assistance of Accountant Friend in Comedy
I
n high school, Calvin (Kevin Hart) was voted “Most Likely to Succeed” while his chubby pal Bob (Dwayne Johnson) was bullied by classmates because of his weight. However, that was 20 years ago, and a lot has changed since then. Today, Calvin is thinking that he might have peaked during his glory days at Central High when he and his childhood sweetheart Maggie (Danielle Nicolet) were voted Homecoming King and Queen. The pair did get married, but their relationship’s been so rocky that she’s insisting that they enter therapy. Things are even worse for Calvin at his accounting firm, where he’s just been passed over for a promotion to partner. In comparison, Bob’s fortunes have improved considerably during the 20 years. He lost weight, and with the help of weight-lifting, he has become quite handsome. Furthermore, he is having a successful career as a CIA agent involved in international espionage. The pair meet again for the first time at their 20th high school reunion where Calvin is impressed both by
Bob’s new physique and his daring line of work. Taking advantage of the situation, Bob enlists Calvin’s technical expertise as an accountant to help him in his latest assignment. That’s the point of departure of Central Intelligence, a comedy directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (We’re the Millers). Kevin Hart has proven himself quite the master of the genre, given the success of such box-office hits as The Wedding Ringer, Get Hard and Ride Along 1 and 2. Unfortunately, Kevin and co-star Dwayne Johnson fail to generate any chemistry, even though they appear in scene after scene of silly slapstick. The movie attempts to be humorous by contrasting Bob’s bravery with Calvin’s cowardice. But sadly, the laughs are few and far between during this underwhelming action-adventure. Fair (H). Rated PG-13 for violence, sexuality, nudity, crude humor, and brief profanity. Running time: 107 minutes. Distributor: Warner Brothers Pictures. —Kam Williams

After Steadying the Helm in Interim Role This Spring, Madalon Named Head Coach of PU Men’s Lacrosse
M
att Madalon is all about moving forward. After being named the interim head coach of the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team in the wake of Chris Bates being dismissed after a sideline incident in a game against Brown, Madalon focused on righting the ship. “That was a really incredible opportunity in the most unfortunate circumstances,” said Madalon, who had been serving as the offensive coordinator. “Clearly we were struggling but we still had every opportunity ahead of us, to play in the NCAA tournament, to win an Ivy League tournament, and so the hope was there. It gave us a spark, it gave us a little fire, which was exciting.” Madalon’s leadership gave the Tigers a spark as they went 3-2 down the stretch after a 2-6 start, culminating with a dramatic 7-6 win over Ivy League rival Cornell in the season finale. “Everything was far smoother than I would have imagined,” said Madalon. “We had a good, hungry team. We made a few adjustments on the field; it worked so our guys gained some quick confidence and then we just kept rolling. A lot of it, at that point, was just managing emotions.”

ON THE JOB: Matt Madalon is all smiles during a lighter moment this spring as he took the helm of the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team as interim head coach in the wake of Chris Bates being dismissed after a sideline incident in a game against Brown. Madalon guided the Tigers to a 3-2 record down the stretch after a 2-6 start, culminating with a dramatic 7-6 win over Cornell in the season finale. Last week, Madalon was elevated to permanent head coach of the Princeton program.

I think the continuity of knowing our guys and the program helped. Princeton is a really special place. There are some unique things that you have to balance at Princeton just to make sure you have the most efficient, effective team. Also, it all comes down to communication and leadership qualities.” Since getting the job, Madalon made a point of communicating with all of his returning players. “They are excited for me,
they are excited for them, they are excited for the program,” added Madalon. “They are just ready to get back to work.” As he looks to put his stamp on the program, Madalon will be emphasizing a daily work ethic and attention to detail. “I want to see a competitive fire from our guys, an edge, all day, every day,” asserted Madalon. “I want them committed, composed, concentrated, and to dial in the bigger picture to stuff so that on an everyday basis there is a consistent approach we are attacking it with.” —Bill Alden

SPRING REVIEW
PHS Attacker Ryan, PDS Boys’ Lax Star Fletcher Earn Nod as Town Topics’ Top Spring Performers
W
ith the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team lacking some offensive firepower coming into the spring due to graduation, attrition, and transfer, Julia Ryan was asked to take on a new role in her senior campaign. After establishing herself as a star midfielder and committing to Temple to join its women’s lacrosse program, Ryan was moved to attack. PHS head coach David S chlesinger sensed t hat Ryan had the potential to be a difference maker up front. “The change of position I think is going to be fantastic for her, she is just a natural attacker,” asserted Schlesinger. “She has great speed and elusive moves. She has great
stick skills. She has a good head on her shoulders so she makes good decisions. She knows plays not to make. It really helps our offense click to have a player like that. We have enough talented players so when they try to take her out of the play with pressure, we have other girls who can really step up.” After having starred at point guard over the last four season for the PHS girls’ hoops team, Ryan was comfortable running the show on the lacrosse field. “I am playing behind the goal so I make the feeds go out and make sure everyone is set in the offense,” said Ryan. “I like to say that I can control the offense a little bit, which is great.” In the season opener at Hun, Ryan took control of
the PHS attack, tallying a goal and eight assists as the Little Tigers pulled away to a 19-8 triumph. “They were sending some doubles onto the feeder, when the people in the stack would realize that the double was coming, they would cut at the exact right time,” explained Ryan.“The timing of cuts and good feeds were really what allowed us to pull away.” Ryan went on to have a very good spring, tallying 97 points with 44 goals and 53 assists as the Little Tigers went 10-8, advancing to the quarterfinals of the Mercer County Tournament and the South Group 4 sectional. She developed a potent partnership with classmate and Cornell-bound Taylor Lis, who tallied 74 goals and 13 assists this spring. “I hit Taylor a bunch of times, we have been playing together since 8th grade so I think that is a connection,” added Ryan, whose playmaking also helped freshman Mariana Lopez-Ona enjoy a big debut season with 43 goals and 14 assists. “We have been working a lot in practice on feeding and proper timing of cuts so I think that all came together really well today.” In the view of Schlesinger, Ryan’s play on attack helped the PHS attack come together. “It really helps our offense click to have a player like that,” said Schlesinger. “We have enough talented players so when they try to take her out of the play with pressure, we have other girls who can really step up.” For assuming a new role and emerging as an offensive catalyst, Ryan is the choice as the Town Topics’ top female performer of the spring season.

sparked the Panther boys’ hockey team to a reversal of fortune as it went from three wins in 2014-15 to a 15-6-3 season but once again PDS came up short in the state prep title game, falling to Morristown-Beard. Coming into his last campaign at PDS this spring, Fletcher was determined to end things on a high note. “What has happened in the past is in the past,” said Fletcher. “We are trying to play our best lacrosse at the end of May and hopefully hang up two banners at the end of the season.” In order to maximize the potential of the Panthers’ attack, Fletcher moved up the field at times from his customary midfield role. “I like to be a facilitator; now I am playing attack a little bit,” said Fletcher. “I am r unning it from behind the net and Jonah (Tuckman) is running from the top. We are just working together, the chemistry is great this year. We have been playing together for four or five years now and we are trying to be multidimensional in the way we play.” PDS head coach R ich D’Andrea had the sense that Fletcher’s talent and versatility could pay dividends. “He is one of those guys t h at j u s t com m a n d s s o much respect out there, he just has a presence,” said D’Andrea. “We have been dodging him from the wing and from behind the net. He just has great vision and he is one of the best athletes to come through PDS.” With Fletcher leading the way, PDS went on to enjoy one of the best seasons in school history. The Panthers posted a regular season record of 15-1 and were seeded first in both the MCT and state Prep B tourneys. I n t h e M C T, F l e tch e r scored the game-winning goal in a 4 -3 w in over Hopewell Valley in the semis and then tallied seven points on three goals and four assists points as PDS rolled past Robbinsville 17-8 in the title game. Fletcher also starred in the Prep B tourney, tallying one goal and three assists as the Panthers cruised past Morristown-Beard 15-3 in the
semis and then chipping in an assist as PDS pulled out a 6-5 win over Montclair Kimberley in the title game. On the season, Fletcher ended up with 20 goals and 26 assists as the Panthers posted a final record of 15-1. While PDS boasted a balanced attack, it was Fletcher’s skill and presence that made the difference. “Connor is the guy we have run at mid and you look at the frame of that guy, 6’4, 200 and whatever pounds, he is a force,” said D’Andrea. For Fletcher, the journey to the two banners was as meaningful as the final result. “It is crazy; you hang out with those guys on the weekend, you go to class with all of them, we are all over the place together,” said Fletcher. “There is no one I would rather be playing out there with. We are best friends. It is really special and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.”
Fletcher’s skill, persistence, and unselfishness earn him the nod as the top male performer of the spring. Top Newcomers s Kathy Quirk as sessed her Hun School softball team c om i n g i nto 2016, s h e thought its success would hinge on developing selfbelief. “We just have to believe; it is going to be confidence,” said Quirk. “We have to believe that we are as good as anybody else that we are playing and just rise to the occasion each day.” Freshman first baseman M e g a n D o n a h u e d i d n’t waste any time rising to the occasion, going 3-for-4 with three runs and two RBIs in a 12-5 win over Lawrenceville in the second game of the season and then going 3-for4 with three runs, three RBIs, a double and a homer in the next game, a 12-6 victory over Blair. “She can crush the ball,”

Top Coaches ith her Princeton Day School girls’ lacrosse team coming off a Prep B title campaign last year and welcoming back most of its stars this season, Jill Thomas was looking forward to the 2016 campaign. “They are just fun to work with,” added Thomas. “They can play, they are unselfish, and they complement each other well. It is just fun because they are creative.” But the veteran coach knew a title repeat wasn’t a given. “We have to stay healthy; we don’t have a big roster but we are solid,” said Thomas.

After a disappointing loss to Lawrenceville in the MCT quarters, PDS rebounded by earning its second straight Prep B crown, edging Morristown-Beard 13-12 in the semis and then pulling away to an 18-11 win over Pennington to earn the championship in a rematch of the 2015 title game. “We knew it would be harder to repeat; I am really, really proud of the girls,” said Thomas, whose team finished the season at 13-5 and was led by Hannah Bunce, Morgan Mills, Madison Mundenar, Kyra Hall, Kate Bennett, and Bridget Kane at the offensive end with senior co-captains Tess Gecha and Rowan Schomburg spearheading the defense. “They are one year older, they are more experienced. They could have let it go. T hey could have got ten sloppy and cocky but they just kept getting better.” For keeping the Panthers on the track to a second straight Prep B title, Thomas is the choice as the top coach of a female team this spring.

He is tireless, he has got that energy and the drive to be successful just like his brother.” The younger Brennan showed his drive as he produced another personal best in throwing 163’3 to place fifth in the discus at Group 4 state championship meet. “His composure is really, really impressive,” said Samara, noting that Brennan is the sixth ranked freshman nationally in the discus. “He comes out on his first throw, it is his first group

have been around,” asserted D’Andrea. “They push each other, they have built something special here and they understand that. I think staying humble, staying grounded, and understanding the task at hand, those are all going to be the keys to this thing. We are approaching this thing one game at a time here. Our job is to go learn, adjust, and peak at the right time down the stretch.” In D’Andrea’s view, the team’s senior class set the tone. “I remember seeing these guys when they were in 8th grade with coach Peter Higgins at practice,” said D’Andrea of the team’s Class of 2016 which included cocaptains Connor Fletcher and Jonah Tuckman along with Joey Levine, Noam Yakoby, Aiden Jones, James Fragale, and Amir Melvin. “It was one of the most talented 8th grade classes. It was my first year here and I remember being really excited for when these guys would be seniors. They lived up to the hype. I think what most impresses me is through the years here the classes continue to push each other and with this group, they really, really set the bar high, not even in terms of wins but just in terms of being a good teammate and what they have done for each other. It is something that makes me love coming to work every day.” The Panthers got off to an impressive star t in 2016, p o s t i n g v i c tor i e s over such formidable foes as the Germantown Academy ( Pa. ), Hu n, Shipley S ch o ol ( Pa. ) , P r i n c e ton High and the Hill School (Pa.) in the first two weeks

of the season and never looked back. PDS was seeded first in both the Mercer Count y Tournament and state Prep B tourney and lived up to that billing. In the MCT, the Panthers rolled to a 17-8 win over Robbinsville on May 12 in the championship game to earn the program’s first county crown. Six days later, PDS showed its grit and skill as it edged Montclair Kimberly 6-5 in the Prep B title game. For D’Andrea, earning the title double was the culmination of a process that began with some aggressive scheduling. “I am a one at a time guy; for us, the target has been the Mercer County Tournament and the Prep Bs,” said D’Andrea. “We play a really competitive schedule. We play all the Prep A teams; we play a lot of the competitive independent schools. So for us it has been about getting here and luckily we were able to get one today.” I n t h e f i n a l a n a l y s i s, though, the team’s success came down to togetherness not luck. “I don’t know if I have ever coached a group of kids that has each other’s backs better than these guys have,” said D’Andrea. “They really treat each other like brothers and I think for any successful program that is what you need everyone to go to bat for one another.” D’Andrea’s role in creating the positive environment that resulted in a season for the ages this spring earns him the nod as the top coach of a male team this spring. —Bill Alden

Winning Two of Its Last Three Games, Stuart Lacrosse Kept Fighting to the End Having posted just three wins all spring as of May 10, the Stuart Country Day School lacrosse team nearly doubled that total in the last week of the season. With its offense clicking, St uar t defe ate d G eorge School (Pa.) 19-8 and the Ranney School 17-5 before falling 18-8 to Pennington in its season finale. Stuart head coach Kelsey O’Gorman liked the way her team played down the stretch. “It was really nice, there were team effor ts all around,” said O’Gorman, whose squad ended t he spring with a 5-12 record. “ We re a l ly dom i nate d Ranney from the first draw so that was awesome and we did the same with the George School as well.”
Even though Stuart came up short against Pennington in its last outing, O’Gorman had no qualms with the effort she got from her players. “We scored the first goal against Pennington; I was really happy that the girls came out really hard,” said O’Gorman. “We did challenge them in the first half, it was a very close game. They worked to the final whistle so I was really proud of the way they played against a team like Pennington.” O’Gorman was proud of her senior group that featured Julia Maser, Tori Hannah, Harley Guzman, and Rose Tetnowski. “There was a lot of personality all through that group, it is going to be a big loss,”

said O’Gorman. “They really contributed in many different ways, Maser and Hannah, who are both going to be competing in college athletics, with Maser heading to Division III Colby College to play lacrosse and Hannah going to Massachusetts-Lowell, to play field hockey at the Division I level, provided a lot of firepower for the Tartans this spring. “Julia is just a born leader; our leaders were hustlers so it was nice to see,” said O’Gorman of Maser, who tallied 76 goals and 19 assists this season with Hannah chipping in 22 goals and 22 assists. “She really led by example and the younger girls learned a passion for the game from her. Tori was hurt for a few games and it is never easy being injured. She is not one to sit back. She is just our workhorse, she is a great, great player. She is aggressive and the heart of the team. Even when she was out, she was cheering them on.” Guzman (26 goals and 12 assists in 2016) and Tetnowski (4 goals and 2 assists) showed a lot of heart as well. “Harley has a great shot; she is sneaky around the crease; she goes in, they don’t expect it and she comes out of nowhere and scores,” added O’Gorman. “She was good on defense too; we could throw her anywhere and she would pick it up. Rose was the lone senior defender so that is not an easy role to take on. She was very verbal, she knows the game inside and out. She is a player who does anything for her teammates and she passed on that knowledge to the younger players. She showed lots of character.” Stuart’s players showed a lot of character collectively as they kept fighting to the end. “I think overall we really grew, we had a lot of new players,” said O’Gorman. “I feel like everyone matured as a player; we perfected our transitions and started playing as a full unit. Despite our record, we had a fun year together.” —Bill Alden

Featuring Mix of Savvy Veterans, Young Talent, Stuart Track Produced Brilliant Campaign Although the Stuart Country Day School track team didn’t look dominant in a season-opening win in a quad-meet against George School ( Pa.), Solebur y School (Pa,) and Pennington School, Len Klepack was very encouraged by what he saw. “Usually the George School has a good group and we went to the first meet and we saw that we won without really great performances because it was early in the season,” said Stuart head coach Klepack. “Going against competition early in the season and to do well without really peaking, that gave us a sense of what the season could be.” The 2016 season turned out to be one of the best in program history as Stuart went 9-1 in regular season meets, won medals in their division at the Penn Relays, and stood second at the state Prep B championship meet through eight events before it was called off due to inclement weather. The Tartans set or tied 11 school records along the way. In Klepack ’s v iew, the team’s depth made a big difference. “We had a couple of seniors that had good junior years so we felt that they would improve and they had a real good attitude,” said Klepack, noting that the program has a proud tradition with former coach and current Princeton University women’s track assistant Thomas Harrington having led Stuart to four Prep B crow ns bet ween 1999-2005. “We had a couple of new freshmen who had potential and talent; they wanted to learn. There was a balance in every event.” The squad’s senior contingent was led by the McGowen triplets, Pam, Juliet, and Natalie. “They are great influences and they lead by example, they are involved in a lot of activities at Stuart and they have learned how to multitask, said Klepack, noting that all three are headed to Princeton University. “They are capable of being quality athletes in tennis and volleyball but they are quality students also. They are part of the choir that goes all over the east coast and sings in special events, they have been to Carnegie Hall.”
Another senior standout, Kate Walsh, proved to be a good influence on her younger teammates. “Kate Walsh had a great four years and she has kept the other group together,” said Klepack, whose other seniors included Lindsay Craig and Jen Walsh. “There are about four or five girls that had potential, someone like Milan Kainer, who scored in the state meet. That had a lot to do with Kate. Other girls, even the freshmen, learned from Kate. That is important.” Sophomore Michelle Kwafo emerged as an important competitor for the Tartans. “She is learning how to compete, she has excellent potential; the thing is going to be picking the right event,” said Klepack. “Right now we think it is the 100 hurdles and she was part of almost every sprint relay record with Natalie (McGowen) and Pam (McGowen).” Two freshmen, sprinter/ hurdler Priscilla Francois and throwing star Bey-Shana Clark, proved to be a big part of things this spring for the Tartans. “Priscilla had played basketball and field hockey and she had to decide between lacrosse and track,” said Klepack. “She went with track to see what it would be like and she has a lot of ability and range. She can run anything from the 100 up and we even put her in the 4x800 relay that broke our school record. She has a lot of range and we decided to try her as an intermediate hurdler and she was able to score in that as well. BeyShana has a lot of talent, she is a natural. She gets the technique down quickly.” While it was disappointing for the Tartans to be denied the chance to produce a winning score in the Prep B meet, Klepack believes that experience will help the team going forward. “Pam (McGowen) had a real good meet, she was second in the long jump and third in the triple jump,” said Klepack, whose team had 60 points with leader Villa
Walsh just ahead at 64 when the meet was cancelled. “Allison Walsh won the high jump and Kate Walsh won the discus. It is a good day when you have two state championships from the same family and the meet is not half way through. We felt confident about the 4x100 and scoring in the 4x400. We would have been right there with that. It was a downer, yes, but it will help motivate us with the young kids.” In Klepack’s view, a family feeling helped Stuart come together this spring. “I have to give credit to my wife Nancy and Gary Dura, who were our other coaches, and the team pulling together,” said Klepack. “The girls came to understand that track and field is something that takes work. They understood that you have got to prepare, you just can’t walk out on the track. They were willing to put in the time and I think they were rewarded for it. They were also a team. Even if you weren’t going to score in an event, they were there to support each other. They motivated each other and that is what you try to get from track and field. Every coach will tell you that you motivate them because it is a lifetime sport and there are life lessons.” Applying those lessons should help the Tartans going forward. “That sprint group that is coming back w it h Michelle, Pr iscilla, and Akilah Johnson; there is a good nucleus,” said Klepack, who also returns juniors Casey Nelson, Ally McGowen, Claudary Jones, Jada Postadan, and Kainer along with sophomores Alison Walsh, Madeleine Michaels, Sonia Mohandas, Allie Burgess Kendra Brenya, Brittney Jones, and Liz Mele and freshmen Allie Rounds and Clark. “I think that combination of balance helped motivate the youngsters and then next year, that group will motivate other people. You just have to get the people out. We are a small school and when you could get one third of your upper school to participate in a sport, it became a lot of fun. You could see them achieve at the end.” —Bill Alden

STANDING TALL: Stuart Country Day School track athletes, from front to back, Priscilla Francois, Juliet McGowen, Lindsay Craig, and Madeleine Michaels, were all smiles as they came together to compete in a relay this spring. Stuart enjoyed a stellar season in 2016, going 9-1 in dual meet competition and standing second at the state Prep B championship meet through eight events before it was called off due to inclement weather. The Tartans set or tied 11 school records this spring and earned medals in their division at the Penn Relays in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays.
As Skye Ettin took the court at Community Park for the Ivy Inn last Wednesday for opening night action in the Princeton Recreation Department Men’s Summer Basketball League, he was primed to apply lessons from his day job. Ettin, a former standout for P r inceton High and The College of New Jersey, worked the last year as the director of operations of the Princeton University men’s basketball program before being promoted earlier this month to assistant coach. “I think I got a lot smarter; I see the game a ton better,” said Ettin. “It is just
crazy now how things have changed when you are on the other side. I have learned a ton over the last year and I think that helped me a lot out here.” Having not played in the summer league last season after competing in the league during high school and through his TCNJ career, Ettin was a little rusty in the early going last Wednesday as Ivy Inn battled Pediatric Therapy Solutions. “I haven’t played as much as I did in college,” said Ettin, who led the University Radiology squad to a Summer League title in 2011. “I wanted to get into the
groove with these guys, they are all really smart players. It was great to be out here. It was a lot of fun, I try to play as much as I can.” Displaying his cour t smarts and skill, Ettin ended up with a game-high 13 points as Ivy Inn pulled out a 41-37 victory over Pediatric Therapy Solutions. “They shot well; I think it was a good first game for us to get our feet wet,” said Ettin. “But credit to them, they shot unbelievably, especially in the first half.” Ettin has enjoyed getting his feet wet in coaching with the Princeton program under the tutelage of head coach Mitch Henderson. “I learned a ton in the operations role, that is a really good role, especially getting started because you have your hand in everything. You are observing everything, you are watching everything.” In Ettin’s view, everything is heading in the right direction for the Tigers. “I am really excited to keep going on with coach Henderson, this staff, and the team,” said Ettin, who is in the office by 8 a.m. on a daily basis and had calls to make after the Ivy Inn game with the recruiting trail heating up in July. “We have got almost everybody coming back and we came so close last year. I am in a position where I can coach and try to help the guys develop as players and people.” When he can get out of the office, Ettin is excited to take the court for Ivy Inn. “I have known these guys a long time, it is a great group of guys,” said Ettin. “Three of them, Bobby Davison, Shahid Abdul-Karim, and Mark Aziz, have all coached me at some point in my career at either TCNJ or PHS. It is a lot of fun to come out here and play with them.” —Bill Alden

Post 218 Baseball Taking Its Lumps Early On, Needs to Show More Toughness to Be Competitive After falling 11-0 at West Windsor Plainsboro last week, the players on the Princeton Post 218 American Legion baseball team trudged to right field with their heads down for their post-game talk. In reflecting on the defeat that saw Princeton give up seven runs in the bottom of the second inning to dig a 7-0 hole, Post 218 manager Tommy Parker ack nowledged it was a tough day at the office. “We couldn’t get out of it, that will come with experience,” said Parker, who got hits from Matt Lambert and John Girouard in the defeat. “They have to stay focused and they have to go to that old school mentality where you dig in when the going gets tough. The spirit of the game comes up and that is what you play on.” Although Post 218 is off to a 1-9 start, Parker believes that his club can compete with anyone in the Mercer County American Legion League (MCALL). “It wasn’t like we got overpowered, we have got to get bat smart in the right places and play defense,” said Parker. “I haven’t seen a team this season that we should not have been able to play with. I would say the one truly flat game we had was Bordentown. You could see the difference in the experience level.” With the addition of Hun School standouts Alex Mumme, Mike Pedota, Chris Pont rella, and McG w ire Tuffy, Parker feels he has the pieces in place to make a difference. “The talent level is good, we have got some real, real good youngsters,” said Parker. “I think down the line they will step up with them too. We have to get acclimated; it is good to see that early in the season and see what it is.” Parker is looking to recently graduated Princeton
High standout Lambert to help ratchet up the team’s intensity level. “Matt is a great team leader, he stepped up today,” said Parker. “He will take the hill and that is what you need. If these guys follow Matt’s example being there for the team, we will go a lot farther in a lot better way. With most of the season still remaining, Parker is optimistic that Post 218 can get on the right track.
“It is just a week in,” said Parker, whose team hosts Trenton Post 93/182 on June 22 and Hopewell Post 339 on June 23 before playing at Lawrence Post 414 on June 28. “The post game speech was about it being on them, they have got to bring it. They have to constantly stay on the game, they have to step up. If this team stays loyal and everybody stays to g e t h e r, you ar e t a l king about a team that can do tremendous damage in the league.” —Bill Alden
TOUGH SUMMER: Chris Sumners takes a big swing in recent action for the Princeton Post 218 American Legion baseball team. Post 218, which has struggled to a 1-9 start, will look to get on the winning track as it hosts Trenton Post 93/182 on June 22 and Hopewell Post 339 on June 23 before playing at Lawrence Post 414 on June 28.

Morton White Morton White (19172016), one of America’s most distinguished philosophers and historians of ideas, died at the age of 99 on May 27 at Stonebridge at Montgomery in Skillman, New Jersey. He was Professor Emeritus in the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study, where he served as professor from 1970 until he retired in 1987. White is credited with broadening the scope of topics traditionally studied by philosophers, with incisive analysis in the realms of epistemology and social and political philosophy. In his philosophy of holistic pragmatism, he bridged the positivistic gulf between analytic and synthetic truth as well as that between moral and scientific belief. He maintained that philosophy of science is not philosophy enough, thereby encouraging the examination of other aspects of civilized life — especially art, history, law, politics, and religion — and their relations with science. “A most formidable intellect, White was a philosopher who was able to reach out from his specialisms in epistemology and from the narrow language analysis preoccupations of much post–World War II American philosophy, in a way few others could, to write usefully about and contribute with force and insight on a vast range of historical, legal, social, and cultural issues,” said Jonatha Israel, Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the School of Historical Studies at the Institute. “This made him a unique asset in the large and small discussions regularly held in the Institute’s School of Historical Studies.” Director of the Institute and Leon Levy Professor Robbert Dijkgraaf added, “Morty left a deep and meaningful imprint as a philosopher and intellectual historian, driven by his keen curiosity and intrepid spirit. He will be greatly missed

Thought in America: The Revolt Against Formalism, spurred a powerful response and dialogue across the field and has since become a classic text in American intellectual history. White’s later books include From a Philosophical Point of View: Selected Studies and The Question of Free Will: A Holistic View. He was predeceased by Lucia Perry White in 1996, and by his second wife, Helen Starobin White, in 2012. He is survived by his sons, Nicholas of Cologne, Germany, and Stephen of Somerville, Massachusetts, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

Gillett Griffin Gillett Griffin, curator of Pre-Columbian and Native American art, emeritus, at the Princeton University Art Museum, died of natural causes at his home in Princeton on June 9. He was 87. Griffin’s passion for collecting began more than 60 years ago while he was a student at Yale University School of Art, where he studied painting and graphic design and earned a bachelor’s degree in 1951. He wandered into a New Haven junk shop and purchased a tiny ceramic head for 25 cents. Showing it to George Kubler, a renowned professor of art history at Yale, he learned that the head came from the Valley of Mexico and dated to before 400 B.C. So began a lifetime of collecting that would later inform his scholarship and teaching. Griffin came to Princeton in 1952 as curator of graphic arts in the Princeton University Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections division, a position he held until 1966. In 1957 he took a leave of absence to design books for Princeton University Press and write articles on the history of printmaking and related graphic themes. After spending a year in Mexico — where he was the co-discoverer of cave paintings by the Olmec people, identified as the oldest paintings ever seen in the New World, dating between 800 and 400 B.C. — he returned
to Princeton in 1967 to join the museum at the invitation of then Director Patrick Kelleher. Griffin steadily added to his own and the museum’s collections, and gave much of his own collection to the museum. These gifts number in the thousands, according to James Steward, the Nancy A. Nasher-David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, Director of the museum. Griffin retired in 2005, after 38 years with the museum. “Gillett is principally responsible for having shaped for Princeton what is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest collections of the art of the ancient Americas — in an age in which it was still possible to do so,” Steward said. “He is an essential figure in our history. But he has also been a great friend — a warm, generous, kind man with a sly wit and a ready story. Gillett leaves an indelible mark on Princeton, and on all of us.” “Gillett’s art collection was exceptional both due to his keen aesthetic eye and his constant consideration of objects’ potential role for teaching,” said Bryan Just, the Peter Jay Sharp, Class of 1952, curator and lecturer in the art of the Ancient Americas at the museum. “Since my arrival at Princeton about a decade ago, Gillett has been an enthusiastic supporter of my work to continue his legacy of promoting ancient American art and Princeton’s place in the field.” Griffin worked with successive museum directors to develop one of the world’s most important collections of ancient Olmec and Maya art. The result of two conferences on Maya pottery and iconography at Princeton he organized in the 1980s is the book Maya Iconography, which he co-edited with Elizabeth Benson, published by Princeton University Press. Griffin wrote widely for publications ranging from printing and graphic arts to National Geographic. His trips to Mexico helped connect Princeton to several important endeavors. For example, in 1973, while serving as a guide and adviser to Princeton filmmakers Hugh and Suzanne Johnston on an expedition to film a WNET (PBS) special on the Maya, he and his team rediscovered Temple B — an archetypal Maya palace structure in a dense area of the Yucatan jungle called Río Bec — which had eluded searchers since it has been lost after its discovery in 1912.

and a lifelong friend of Griffin’s, commended not only Griffin’s expert eye but also his warm personality. “His friendships with scholars, collectors, and dealers in ancient American art, and his ability to bring all these together in a congenial social setting became legendary. His [former] house on Stockton Street was the meeting place of all kinds of people with interests in the indigenous art of the Americas,” Bush said. At Princeton, Griffin also taught courses on pre-Columbian art. When Mary Miller, a 1975 alumna, approached him to be her adviser for her senior thesis, he suggested that together they mount an exhibition of ceramic figures from Jaina, the burial island off the coast of the Yucatan. It was one of the first major exhibitions of Pre-Columbian art at the museum and Miller’s thesis was the published catalogue. Miller, the Sterling Professor of History of Art at Yale and a leading scholar of ancient American art, said: “How fortunate I am to have known [Gillett], and to have had my passion sparked by his. Ever fond of of puns and word play, were Gillett here, he would be making good sport of us all and hoping that we would visit the Princeton University Art Museum, to see the playful world of ancient art that he assembled and generously gave to the museum so that others would share his joy.” Even before arriving as a freshman at Princeton, David Stuart, a 1989 alumnus and the Linda and David Schele Professor of Mesoamerican Art and Writing at the University of TexasAustin, already knew Griffin. At age 17, Stuart — the son of George Stuart, staff archaeologist, editor and Maya scholar at National Geographic magazine for 40 years — had already made a name for himself in the field and gave a talk at Princeton’s conference on early Maya iconography. Calling Griffin “a wonderful mentor,” Stuart said that when he was a sophomore, Griffin arranged for Stuart to teach a course in Maya hieroglyphs in the Department of Art and Archaeology; Griffin audited the course. Stuart also remembered gatherings for students at Griffin’s house. “My first time over he asked me what I’d like to drink. I sheepishly asked for a Coke, and three minutes later Gillett hands me a soft drink in a painted kylix — an ancient Greek drinking cup from the sixth century B.C.! This is a great example of how Gillett saw how art could ‘live’ in the present,” said Stuart. Matthew Robb, a 1994 alumnus who joined the Fowler Museum at the University of California-Los Angeles as chief curator on June 13, took Griffin’s survey classes on the Andes and Mesoamerica. “Wow, did he pack the slides in — I’d say it was in the hundreds. Image after image after image — and he knew them all. It was dazzling. Gillett taught me how to see art,” said Robb, who previously served as curator of the arts of the Americas at the de Young, one of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Born in Brooklyn, New
York, on June 22, 1928, Griffin grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut. While attending Deerfield Academy, he developed an interest in and began to collect New England children’s books printed before 1846. In 1951, the same year he graduated from Yale, he wrote, illustrated, and printed A Mouse’s Tale, which was nominated one of the Fifty Books of the Year for its design by the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Griffin also maintained close ties to the greater Princeton community during the more than 60 years he lived in town and was an accomplished painter and portraitist. A retrospective exhibition, “Heads and Tales: Portraits with Legends by Gillett Good Griffin,” was mounted earlier this year (January 3-March 31) at the Princeton Public Library, cosponsored by the Arts Council of Princeton. In 2014, the arts council mounted a solo exhibition, “The Eyes Have It,” a collection of paintings, drawings, and sketches from Griffin’s field notes and diaries. But what many of Griffin’s close friends remember as most remarkable was Griffin’s friendship with Albert Einstein. According to Bush, while working at the Princeton University Library, Gillett befriended a Czech refugee and fellow librarian, Johanna Fantova, who had known Einstein in Berlin and Prague in his younger days. When she fled to America at the end of the World War II, Einstein suggested she consider library work. It was 1953. Fantova introduced Griffin into the Einstein household at 112 Mercer St., where Einstein lived with his stepdaughter Margot, a sculptor. Griffin was 25 years old; Einstein was 74. “His unpretentious social ease, willingness to play at children’s puzzles with Einstein himself, his sense of humor (especially puns), his interest in baroque music, all endeared him to Einstein,” Bush said. “As an artist he had much in common with Margot. He was soon given open access to the Einstein house by Dukas, Einstein’s secretary, and the true keeper of the door.” Over the years, Griffin accrued many personal belongings of Einstein’s — including the famous snapshot of Einstein sitting on his porch wearing fuzzy slippers, his compass, a pipe, and several puzzles — which he eventually donated to the Historical Society of Princeton. In 2006, after the movie “I.Q.”, starring Walter Matthau as Einstein, was filmed in and around Princeton, Griffin asked Robert and Henry Landau, co-owners of Landau’s store on Nassau Street, if they would dedicate a small section of their store to exhibit some of Griffin’s Einstein memorabilia. They readily agreed. Griffin is survived by Betsy Cole Roe, his first cousin, once removed; her children, Gillett Cole II (named after Gillett Griffin), and Trip Noll III; and several other cousins, and their children. Contributions in memory of Griffin may be made to the Princeton University Art Museum. Written by Jamie Saxon

here at the Institute.” Born in New York City on April 29, 1917, White was influenced early on by his upbringing on the Lower East Side, where his father, Robert Weisberger, owned a shoe store frequented by neighborhood politicians. The daily exposure to lively exchanges of ideas and commentary inspired him to enroll at the age of 15 at the City College of New York to study philosophy. After completing his bachelor’s degree, he was accepted as a graduate student at Columbia University in 1936, where he obtained his AM in 1938 and then his PhD in philosophy in 1942. White taught at both City College and Columbia, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard. His first appointment as a Member in 1953 was encouraged by the Institute’s then Director J. Robert Oppenheimer, who was seeking a scholar in American intellectual history. Oppenheimer and White had known each other from Harvard and had mutual admiration for each other’s work, despite their divergent views on analytic philosophy and related topics. White, in contrast to his philosopher colleagues at Harvard, publicly supported Oppenheimer as an “intellectual force for good” and appreciated the environment that he created for historians at the Institute. In his memoir, A Philosopher’s Story, he remarked, “From the moment I first came to the Institute in 1953, I longed to be there forever. The idyllic surroundings, the conveniently close residential quarters, the company of distinguished colleagues, and ideal working conditions made it seem like an academic heaven.” White’s three visits as a Member enabled work on three books: Toward Reunion in Philosophy, which is considered a milestone in analytic philosophy; Foundations of Historical Knowledge; and Science and Sentiment in America: Philosophical Thought from Jonathan Edwards to John Dewey. His influence on the field has been broad and deep through his numerous books, articles, and critical reviews. One of his earliest books, Social

Caroline Rosenblum Moseley Caroline died unexpectedly but peacefully at the University Medical Center Princeton-Plainsboro on June 18, 2016. Caroline was the daughter of the late Dr. Charles Rosenblum and Fanny Rosenblum. She was also predeceased by her infant brother, Hugh. Caroline attended Princeton public schools and Miss Fine’s School (now Princeton Day School) and received her BA with high honors in English Literature from Radcliffe College (now Harvard University). She later earned a Masters Degree in American Folklore and Folk Life from the University of Pennsylvania. Caroline was a writer and editor at Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Studies for many years and served as editor of The Journal of Economic Perspectives. Caroline was well known in Princeton for her musical contributions, teaching guitar to fellow folk singers at
the Princeton Adult School for over 40 years, singing with the University Chapel Choir for over 15 years, performing at gatherings at the Princeton Public Library and events such as Communiversity and First Night, to say nothing of many lively gatherings of the Princeton Folk Music Society at the Moseley home. She shared her academic and musical talents outside of Princeton as well, inspiring many with her unique expertise on the music of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars through lectures and performances at various universities and historic sites. Caroline was married to Roger V. Moseley, MD, her husband of 60 years and best friend for 63. Caroline and Roger enjoyed traveling far and wide, with family whenever possible. In 1999, their shared sense of purposeful adventure led to a three month stint at the Himalayan Rescue Association Aid Post, at 12,000 feet in Manang, Nepal, providing much needed health care to villagers as well as trekkers. For all her academic and musical talents, Caroline’s greatest joy and reason for being was her family. In addition to her husband, Caroline/Nana leaves her son Richard (Joanne Gusweiler); daughter Catherine Clark (Bruce); son Stephen (Whitney Ross); son Christopher (Michelle Tarsney);

doctorate in microbiology at Rutgers University. Gordon Married Jo’Anne Butler in 1958 and settled in Princeton. In 1984 they moved to Mason’s Island, Mystic, Conn. Gordon was a Colonel in the U.S. Army reserves, trained in artillery at Fort Sill Oklahoma in 1955, led troops in firefighting in the Uinta Mountains in Utah and is a veteran of the Korean war. Gordon graduated from the U.S. Army War College in 1979. On June 5, 2016, an Army representative presented Gordon with an honor pinning to thank him for his service to our country. During his career, Gordon worked at American Cyanamid and then Pfizer. During his later years, he formed and led an international committee that established standards for safety in animal antibiotics. A lifelong learner, Gordon was constantly reading new works of literature and biographies, listening to audio books, and watching the latest documentaries on PBS. He enjoyed playing bridge and traveling with his brother Bruce and his wife Ellen. Their adventures took them each year to Washington, D.C. during “cherry
blossom time” to visit with his younger brother Tom, and to places around the globe. Alaska, Hawaii, New Zealand, and Italy were among his many destinations. Gordon’s favorite place to visit was Barbados. “Pop-pop and Grannie” (Jo’Anne) organized many family trips to the beautiful island, which remain among the very special memories shared by his children, grandchildren, and his brothers. Gordon is survived by daughter, Kerri Kemp of Mystic, Conn.; son, Duncan Kemp of Fairport, N.Y.; and son Peter Kemp of Groton, Conn.; grandchildren, Ryan Mooney, Megan Mooney, Jeffrey Kemp and Matthew Kemp; brothers, Bruce (Ellen) Kemp and Thomas Kemp; sister-in-law Nancy Bower; along with many nieces, a nephew, and friends. He is predeceased by his wife, Jo’Anne Butler Kemp. Friends are invited to a memorial service and a celebration of Gordon’s life on Sunday, June 26 at 1 p.m. at Mason’s Island Yacht Club, Yacht Club Rd, Mystic, Conn. 06355. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions could be made to WGBH (Boston Public Radio).

NO REGRETS: 5 TIPS TO MAKE SURE THE HOME YOU BUY IS THE ONE YOU LOVE Buying a home is a huge financial decision. It's also a time when buyers feel under a lot of pressure to make a decision – even if it's not the right one. Take these five steps to avoid regret after closing: * Make sure you don't get swept up in a bidding war. Bidding against other buyers is common in a hot market; the key is to set your absolute upper limit and then stick with it. Going over budget is perhaps the biggest reason for buyer's remorse. * Be certain the home meets your list of “must-haves.” In a competitive market (or if you're suffering from house-hunter's burnout), it's easy to settle. Reviewing your original list of wants ensures you stay focused. * Visit the home on different days and different times to get a better feel for it – and for the neighborhood. * Try to spend several minutes in each room to picture furniture placement and traffic flow, check closet size and look out every window to assess the view (and your privacy). * Do your due diligence and be ready to walk away if significant issues arise.
