Over one year ago, University President Drew G. Faust christened the New College Theatre, prefacing the venue’s first performance in the new space with a grand announcement. Framed by the proscenium arch and backed by a billowing red curtain, Faust joyfully declared the formation of a “Task Force for the Arts” before introducing the play to come. “It is my hope,” Faust said at the time, “that the Task Force will complete the bulk of its work during the 2007-08 academic year...
...ISSUE Infighting Accuracy Rate Momentum Expectation-Setting ACTION The unseemly spectacle of anonymous Palin allies' criticizing her handling by McCain staffers, followed by McCain aides sliming Palin as a "diva" and "whack job," was too alluring for the media to ignore.

A meeting between the two men on Thursday aimed at resolving the issue broke up without agreement, as reports began to trickle in of violence breaking out in different parts of the country between supporters of Mugabe's Zanu-PF and the opposition...
...would receive recognition as much for their moralistic projects as their literary merits. In many ways, Solzhenitsyn passed moral muster where his literary betters failed. His was, after all, an age when almost every major intellectual had fallen under the insidious spell of either Stalin or Mussolini, when arcane arch-modernists like Ezra Pound were flirting with fascism and when Sartre would infamously declare, “There is total freedom of criticism in the U.S.S.R.” It is not difficult to understand, then, why an appalled and battered public found inspiration in Solzhenitsyn’s courageous...
