RALEIGH â Did Faginâs pickpockets stimulate the economy of London?
If youâve read Charles Dickensâ Oliver Twist or seen the musical derived from it, youâll immediately recognize the name. Fagin is the rogue who takes in orphans and runaways, trains them to pick pockets and swindle marks, and then distributes the proceeds between himself and street tough Bill Sikes.
In the novel, Fagin is clearly villainous. In the musical, however, he has some redeeming qualities and is played with more humor than menace. In one of the showâs catchiest songs, he and the other boys explain to Oliver that, âIn this life, one thing counts/In the bank, large amounts/I m afraid these don t grow on trees/You ve got to pick-a-pocket or two.â

“It should have been communicated how this meeting would go, that tenure proceedings are always held in closed session, and an attempt made to de-escalate,” she tweeted. “Instead Black students were shoved and punched because they were confused about the process. This is not right.”
