...gain an appreciation of real-life scientific research procedures and enjoy the companionship of those with similar interests, one side benefit is that the program occasionally inspires funny-sounding e-mail messages from a place apparently named "Johore," a region in Malaysia. At least this is what first-year Altay Guvench found out after he attended RSI two summers ago. Shortly before presenting a final report on his activities at MIT's Lincoln Laboratories, a military research lab, Guvench was informed that his project on submarine communication was not exempt from the lab's six-to-eight week clearance procedure...

The musical's lyrics offer a synopsis. Eva Duarte (Derin Altay) ("There was no place she'd been by the age of 15") prostitutes herself to get to Buenos Aires.

Before mounting the makeshift gallows, Menderes had turned to Altay Egesel, chief prosecutor at the Yassiada trial, and said: "Please tell my son never to mix in politics. When one is in politics one cannot control his destiny." Last week Yuksel Menderes, 31, who had announced his intention of running for deputy on the New Turkey Party ticket in Aydin, his father's birthplace, withdrew his candidacy for "personal reasons...
