...Meadows contends that it was only during the 1980s that the skinhead movement became infected by the Far Right, a collection of neo-fascist political parties, led by the infamous National Front, which called for the forced repatriation of immigrants. With the decline of British manufacturing and the onset of high unemployment, many working-class skins, whose communities bore the brunt of the new arrivals from abroad, became seduced by the promises of anti-immigrant politicians...
...been done countless times before, this weekend’s production of “The Way of the World” might shock some with the unlikeliness of its juxtaposition—this Restoration comedy has been painstakingly uprooted and set down in the middle of the 1980s. Mary E. Birnbaum ’07 directs William Congreve’s most famous play, going up in the Loeb Mainstage on April 27 and playing during Arts First weekend.

Nor did judges take note that on at least one previous occasion, in the 1980s, a President was elected without the same quorum the court deemed necessary in this instance. (At that time, no one challenged the result.) Still, the judgment has been accepted, and the AKP has called early elections in order to secure a new mandate. The new vote is expected...
