The opening night of CMTS’ The Addams Family was last night. Staff writer Ezra Lerner attended and documented the highs and lows.  The Addams Family is cool.

The Barnard Chemistry Department has been hiding something from us. Something…mysterious. Something…menacing. Something…mole-evolent.    Have you ever had a day in chem lab in which nothing went right? A spilled solvent, a broken test tube, sniffing a chemical you clearly should have wafted?
