There's plenty of vigorous terpsichore (this is as much a dance show as a circus show), but Viva Elvis can't stay earthbound for long. In the Army section, to the tune of "Are You Lonesome Tonight?," two figures on wires--a soldier abroad and his girl back home, holding a letter she's written him--execute a poignant pas de deux; they never touch until at last he grasps the letter and presses it to his chest. The Elvis-Priscilla courtship is staged with a man and a woman reclining on separate beds, then (to "Love Me") rising...
...years of operating separately, the OIP and the Office of Career Services recently merged into the Office of Career, Research, and International Opportunities, to be headed by the interim director of OCS, Robin Mount. The move signifies a vote of confidence for the now self-evident merits of experiences abroad during a student’s college years.

(OCS even included an option to search “ignore national jobs” in its Crimson Careers internships database.) This created an unnecessarily complicated search and application process for overseas-bound students. Students interested in diverse sources for funding or work...

Those kids are all too often funneled to more-affluent families who turn them into slaves, known in Creole as restaveks, or to outright traffickers who force them into lives of prostitution in Haiti and abroad. The Haitian government estimates that there are about 300,000 restaveks in Haiti today. In many cases before and after the quake, parents and orphanages have delivered their kids to well-meaning but naive foreigners like the Idaho missionaries, who were collared on Jan. 29 for trying to ferry...
