...Zuma's victory may be less a result of his own appeal as a candidate than it is is testament to the ire that President Thabo Mbeki arouses among the ANC rank and file. Discipline, once a hallmark of the organization in its days as an underground guerrilla movement, was in scant evidence at a conference whose delegates appeared to be in a state of open revolt, booing and whistling at Mbeki during his opening speech, drowning out Mbeki allies by singing songs in support of Zuma, and delaying the leadership vote for two days in arguments over procedure.

Schreier’s choreography struck the ideal balance between the abstraction typical of modern dance and the visual appeal of classical ballet. The best moments of her exquisite choreography featured not only the usual leaps and turns but also interesting new movements, like dragged splits. She worked with the most talented HBC members: Lynch, Moore, Shee, Walker, and James C. Fuller ’10. Walker shone the brightest, but all five brought Schreier?...
