...words of militants matter more to other potential militants - say, young men thinking of joining a terror group - than some sermon from Muslim moderates. Yudhoyono has enlisted not just prominent clerics but militants themselves to combat extremist ideas; to cite one example, contrite former terrorists appear on television and admit how they shed Indonesian blood. It's a strategy that could work in other countries where there is already some public anger at terrorists. In Sri Lanka, for example, the government could play on the disgust many moderate Tamils have for the brutal tactics the Tamil Tigers employ by running...
...current longest-running musical, second only to “The Fantasticks” for longest-running of all time. Premiered in 1996 with the tagline “Everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws, but were afraid to admit,” the play presents a series of vignettes on the ever-elusive subject of love.

...admit it—I’m fudging it a little. After all, there are no towns in the U.S. (nor, likely, the world) that send letters off with the postmark “Kitchen.” I’ve spent the summer making various small trips, none of which was truly postcard-worthy on its own. Yet, as wide a spread as Los Angeles, New York, and my home base of Boston might be, the kitchens I cooked in seemed an appropriately singular subject for my missive...
